Episode notes
Federal Takeover Yields Early Enforcement
- The Trump administration federalized D.C. police and deployed 800 National Guardsmen citing crime and homelessness as justification.
- The deployment was visibly low-key and yielded immediate arrests and six illegal handguns seized the first night.
Statistics Versus Local Data Integrity
- The administration highlighted D.C.'s 2024 homicide rate of 27.3 per 100,000 to justify action despite claims crime is falling.
- Officials also cited possible data manipulation by a police commander to question official downward trends.
Pursue Congressional Approval For Extensions
- Seek legislative approval to extend federal control beyond 30 days if long-term change is needed.
- Use Congress to legitimize extensions rather than relying solely on emergency claims.
