President Trump warned on Monday that another federal emergency was announced in the District of Columbia due to the city’s lack of immigration enforcement.
The president accused “radicalists of putting Democrats under pressure to oppress Mayor Muriel Bowser, also a Democrat, to stop immigrant suppression in local emergency situations.
“If I allow this to happen, the crime will come back.” “For the people and businesses in Washington, D.C., don’t worry, I’m with you, and I’m not allowed to do this.”
Ms. Bowser said this month that Metropolitan Police assisted U.S. immigration and customs enforcement to comply with the U.S. capital’s presidential criminal emergency. After the emergency ended last week, Ms. Ball said DC police would not work with ICE.
During the 30-day federal surge in the region, immigration-related arrests accounted for about 40% of more than 2,000 detained people.
