Do you have any sense of why they would lie about this when it is something they are allowed to do? I'm completely baffled.

But based on what I’ve seen on TikTok it’s never been true at all. But no one’s really covering Trinidad or eotr.

Yeah I wasn’t able to find the recording, which I actually already been looking for since I had missed the meeting. I previously messaged the journalist who wrote the story and haven’t heard back, but I talked to Ankit and he confirmed they said it to him a different time

How long are they usually there? I'm on Signal at mlm335.27 (signal.me#eu/xZ-ihSrq4...), if you message me when you see them I'll drop everything and head over if I'm working ICE duty, doesn't matter the hour.

A little before midnight, Ensign reported that three of the four children are back with ORR. Once the final child and another child newly a part of the class (who was not on a plane on Sunday) are with ORR, Ensign says DOJ will file another status report. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.

He was! I was thrown off bc there’s not like an abundance of cops in this video. The point in this video is to show that a normally very busy bar area is completely empty. There’s usually a good deal of cops in that area when there are people, before the Feds.

I checked it out, thanks for sending it! It's not quite what I'm looking for -- I'm more interested in if the specific agents harassing people eotr are also assigned downtown, or if they are segregated (and if so, why).

I'm also looking for coverage of the feds east of the river, if anyone comes across anything.

U.S. Park Police officers are pursuing vehicles when D.C. police would not. They have initiated at least 10 car chases in the past three weeks as part of President Trump’s surge in federal law enforcement in D.C., court records show.

Like, John and Jack both work for ATF and are assigned to be part of the federal takeover. Is John always helping MPD arrest people for minor infractions on 14th Street, while Jack is always harassing people on Good Hope, or do they just go wherever?

Not asking where the NG or DEA or ATF is -- I know that. Basically asking if they are specifically sending certain individual agents downtown, and others eotr.

Has anyone covered whether the individual federal agents in Anacostia, Congress Heights, etc vs those putzing around arresting people on U St for smoking weed are the same units? Are the individual agents rolling up on public housing the same ones patrolling U St, or are they assigned a region?

Additional context for this: the Park Police have always had a role in District law enforcement because many of DC's pocket parks and intersection parks -- including Dupont Circle -- are under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. Tensions between residents & USPP are not new.

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
