"DHS raids suspected NYC migrant squatter house, arrests 3 after child found with drugs and guns"

Federal agents raided a Bronx home occupied by gun-toting, drug-dealing migrant squatters, resulting in the arrest of three individuals. One of the men, Hector Desousa-Villalta, previously featured on The Post's front page, is facing deportation. The squatters' disruptive behavior, including loud music and drug sales, led to their arrest last week. Despite New York City's sanctuary policies, the federal authorities are moving to deport some of the squatters, who were found to have been turned away from border checkpoints previously.

"DC Mayor Bowser's Tough-on-Crime Proposal Targets Retail Theft, Drug Dealing, and Police Reform"

The Bowser administration in Washington, D.C., has introduced the Addressing Crime Trends Now Act, a new crime and policing legislation aimed at curbing organized retail theft and open-air drug markets. The bill establishes new felony crimes for engaging in or directing organized retail theft, revives a "drug-free zone" policy, and reinstates a law making it illegal to wear a mask for criminal acts. Additionally, the legislation seeks to roll back certain provisions of the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act, including amending the definition of neck restraints and loosening restrictions on vehicular pursuits. The changes are intended to address rising violent crime rates and improve the attractiveness of the police department for prospective officers.

The Battle to Curb Open Drug Sales in San Francisco's Tenderloin District

The California Highway Patrol is joining forces with other agencies to combat rampant drug dealing in San Francisco's Tenderloin district. Recent arrests have uncovered large quantities of drugs, including 33 grams of fentanyl that could potentially kill thousands of people. The crackdown, spearheaded by Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to address the city's open-air drug market, which has expanded during the pandemic. Despite the efforts, residents and business owners report little improvement, blaming politicians and a failing justice system. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins claims her office has filed nearly 1,000 drug dealing cases, but many offenders are released back onto the streets due to lenient judges.
