Trump announces federal law enforcement will patrol Washington, D.C..
Prick.... crimes happen in every state and he cherry picks DC.
fascist pig!
He’s an idiot
Trump sponsored Jan 06 resulting in 5 deaths, over 100 police injured. Property damage estimated to be $2.7 billion, including expenses incurred by Capitol Police, District of Columbia, & federal agencies, & security upgrades. $5MIL gifted to Ashli Babbit. Trump's been the crime wave in D.C.
👎🤬🤬👿
Somebody stop him
All over two teenagers that got blown into a LIE of a big "GANG".
To protect the city from... the Trump cabinet?
Because Big Balls got his ass kicked by a 15 year-old?
Trump will use any tiny excuse to imprison all Americans. This is not an immigrant problem. It’s also not a crime problem. Wake up America.
Yawn. Federal agents are all over DC as it is. Trump may not actually know or understand this.
True, but they typically leave local police matters to Metro PD. There was an incident where DC said food trucks were allowed, but Park Police said not in the parks, and while the trucks were on the street (DC jurisdiction), the sidewalks were part of the park. There was a standoff between the two.
First Washington D.C. #MartialLawComingToACityNearYou
Preparing for his third term in 2028
You can’t say you did NAZI this coming.
Good
Just the beginning of what he did in LA. More to come as the USA turns into a dictatorship like Russia, Hungary, China
Can ICE be used in this capacity?
I ask because they aren’t trained in policing.
To answer your question the short answer is yes, they are federal law enforcement officers. To clarify though, I agree, HSI agents are trained investigators, not patrol officers.
I BET BIG BALLS KICKED HIS OWN ASS, JUST TO GIVE TRUMP THIS EXCUSE!
This is Putin in all but name.
Putting federal officers who are not trained for patrol is simply a waste of resources.
Those plum jobs in federal law enforcement are bound to attract the best and the brightest.
... making Washington D.C. safe for non-violent crime.
They'll be "patrolling" blue polling precincts next fall. I didn't think this coup would be so ..."military". I figured they all hated him.
More dicktator wannabe dick-waving by the big orange dickhead. 🫤
ICE Secret Police move from immigration to general police work. Trump’s Gestapo gets one step closer to reality.
deploying federal law enforcement in Washington, DC raises serious concerns about respect for local governance and the potential impact on civil liberties. It risks creating tension… which isn’t “peace through strength” it’s federally forced fear tactics being deployed on American citizens.
Gad-damned TRAITOR. FUCK TRUMP!!!!
US Marshal used to be a cool job (Tommy Lee Jones) but now they will walk a beat near Dupont Circle?
And so it continues almost there
Translation: There are too many black and brown people simply and freely walking around DC unimpeded. We need some brown shirts to terrorize them and put them in their place.
This man is scared for his life as he should be.
Ah, the military state. Just like Dictatorships as everyone's been warning about. Hillary and Kamala were 1000% right.
Nothing like having a tramp for press secretary
I wonder if 🍊🇷🇺🇭🇺🇰🇵🤡 checked with the police union? ???????
Since Congress has a supervisory role over the District of Columbia, effectively it's the only locality in the coterminous United States that is a city in a unitary domain. There is no state sovereignty of its own, the sovereign power is ONLY the United States there.
No, DC has a city government.
President Donald Trump has initiated a substantial increase in import taxes on a variety of goods, marking the highest levels of taxation seen in nearly a century. This move, beginning Thursday, follows months of rising tensions concerning tariffs.
Latest distraction is trying to intimidate a Black Mayor, and city. Where was this same energy for J6'ers dispatched to the U.S. Capitol, where law enforcement was attacked, maimed, and killed? Media showed him watching TV.
What a joke! And also ugh!! @jilldlawrence.bsky.social
Stop this asshole from taking over things that are not under the executive branch. And someone, please, pay for addadicktome surgery for the Republican Congress
If you havent heard about these mutiplying election court-cases, popping up around the country. We are being subversed & heavily gaslit. PLEASE SHARE. Talk about this with your family, friends and peers! Follow me for updates. I will post as they come up. Next court date is 8/29/25NY #StolenElection
This is not to "clean up the streets". It's to surround himself with loyal royal guardsmen.
lol, imagine going fed only to have to walk a beat in a swamp.
The American oath is due for renewal: I will support and defend the Trumpitution and Trump-laws of the United States of Trumpamerica…
Are you being serious I s your pal Vlad attacking or are the January 6 trying to overthrow the country again Watch the resistance it will dwarf the demonstrations you have seen in your authoritarian friends countries
He’s pacing the roof. And the roof is on fire.
We should be so lucky.
What?
Doesn’t Congress control DC rather than the president?
Not in this fascist dictatorship that Republicans have created.
Does congress do anything?
Everything Congress controls is subject to Presidential veto. Congress controls by legislation and all of it is required to go through his office after they pass it. That's the Constitutional process. He signs, it passes. He vetoes, it can only be repassed by 2/3 of each House.
The only named exception from Presidential purview is their adjournment, and that's only if they agree on WHEN.
Wtf
That will cost a little
And I will yell them to fuck off when next I am there. 💙🤜🏿⚡️💀⚡️🤛💙
This is a fascist move to take over Executive. 😭
Exhibit A - why Dem Project 2029 makes DC the 51st State.
if kamala were president, DC would already be well on its way to statehood 😔😔 as it should be
No. I disagree. The Federal District should be reduced in size to just the White House, Capitol Building, Mall and federal offices, and the rest of it ceded back to the State of Maryland which originally gave it up. That can be done; the Virginia side was ceded back and formed Alexandria.
Or just make them a state, along with Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico's in its current predicament because of its ties to the United States why would further tying it to the us solve the problem www.metro.pr/opinion/2025...
They deserve representation.
you can certainly disagree about the solution for how to best provide representation to the residents of the district of columbia. everyone i know who is a DC resident would like statehood, not to be a marylander. but regardless, it should be their choice & that’s not going to happen under trump
That's not going to happen at all and Trump has nothing to do with it. He has no say at all as President. It would take a Constitutional amendment to make DC a State and there are 50 States right now, some of which don't want their representation diluted even more than it is by counting aliens.
i am aware of how it works, i was being judicious with characters & therefore oversimplifying. the momentum for statehood & full representation was there. now, it is not
The States decide whether that passes or not if it's even proposed and it's a huge two-step, difficult process that's harder to finish than it is to start.
So I'm proposing a much easier solution, because all it would take is a law, not an Amendment, and the consent of one State who would have another city full of Democrats added to it and likely add one more Representative to its Congressional delegation. That's a gift, I'd take it if I were them.
More to the point it would cause a whole lot less contention than adding two Senators, both Democrats, splitting the country in half in acrimonious disharmony, and never passing because of it. My proposal has a much, much better chance.
It makes DC much less of a problem for a lot of us on one side, and makes a State bigger with territory that was originally theirs anyway, with lots of people who already vote the way of their majority.
So that accomplishes several ends at once: Columbians get full Congressional representation as part of Maryland, the bureaucrats are kept away from double-dipping on Federal power, US party makeup is not overly disturbed, and some power is given back to a State that had to give it up 225 years ago.
But by no means do I want a one-sided gift to a party that is currently bent on the destruction of half the country, nor do I want the Senate permanently unbalanced by a special gift to stateless Marylanders. Let them live in Maryland instead, without moving.
The GOP is allowing Trump to run wild.
And being that so many depend on the Federal Government for their living in the Capital, I also do not want the Feds owning two Senate seats and a Representative in perpetuity. The Government should represent US, not THEMSELVES!
And I've a feeling that's why the Founders made DC a district outside any State in the first place!
Why would the founders disenfranchise citizens because of their address? Don't you realize how many federal employees live in MD and VA?
He's yet again wasting taxpayer money.
He must be stopped
Those useless phucks called "Republicans" who control Congress MUST ALL BE VOTED OUT for not doing their legislative job.
Resist the Fascist FELON!
Welcome to the ghost town otherwise known as DC.
Martial law is next.
Make no mistake, this is straight out of Russ Vought’s playbook. Time is running out for a revolution to start
Will he choose the officers personally? To Protect and Serve - him?
How do we stop him? Are there any lawyers on this platform with suggestions?
Fuk
I despise Trump.
Attention FOP members who endorsed Trump. Are you satisfied that he now thinks you’re a bunch of incompetent clowns that can’t handle the job? Any police officer who voted for Trump should have their badge taken away for violating their oath. You voted for a convicted criminal and not to protect us.
