💨 Abstract

Trump's administration has increased National Guard troops and federal agents in D.C., and has made 23 arrests and seized six illegal guns since taking control of the D.C. police. Meanwhile, D.C. police alone made 67 arrests the same day, showing their effectiveness. Experts question the strategy, warning it might displace crime rather than prevent it. The focus on arrests also overlooks other factors like constitutionality and eventual charges.
