Updates from Washington, DC
A collection of videos and photos from around DC since the start of Trump’s federalization of the city.
On August 19, agents from MPD (Metropolitan Police Department, DC’s local police force), Secret Service, ATF, HSI (Homeland Security Investigations), and FBI arrested on man outside of a Trader Joe’s while onlookers heckled them.
On August 22, agents from the IRS, HSI, Park Police, and Metro Transit were stopping people as they exited the Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood metro station. They left after a handful of protesters showed up.
Later that night, DSS (Diplomatic Security Service, the police force for the Department of State), MPD, and FBI arrested a man for smoking half a joint on the street in the U Street corridor. Once again, people heckled them, saying they were wasting their time.
