Federal Agents Expand D.C. Crackdown Amid Rising Tensions
President Trump has mobilized federal law enforcement, including the National Guard and FBI, to increase patrols and control crime in Washington D.C., raising concerns about accountability, training, and civil rights due to the unusual use of federal troops in civilian law enforcement roles. The move involves taking control of D.C. police and deploying multi-agency teams, with federal officers trained differently from local police and limited by laws like the Posse Comitatus Act, while the FBI assists in arrests and the National Guard provides support without making arrests.
