FBI director: 45 arrests made overnight in DC

On Wednesday night in Washington D.C., law enforcement officers made 45 arrests during operations involving 1,650 officers and vehicle checkpoints, including one in the Northwest neighborhood where at least two arrests occurred.
These arrests occurred after President Donald Trump assumed federal control over the D.C. police force and authorized the deployment of hundreds of National Guard members along with numerous federal law enforcement officers to enhance security throughout the city.
Among those arrested, 29 were illegal immigrants, 16 were connected to a violent crime surge, and authorities seized three firearms, while those arrested face charges including drug trafficking and assault on federal officers.
FBI Director Kash Patel stated, "Your FBI will make D.C. Safe Again," announcing 45 arrests Wednesday night and noting over 120 arrests since the federal takeover began.
On Friday, D.C.’s top legal official initiated legal action disputing the federal government’s takeover as illegitimate, as officials prepare to ramp up enforcement efforts, including dismantling homeless camps.
