Attorney General Pam Bondi says federal and local law enforcement agents in Washington, D.C., made 68 arrests on Saturday night alone – touting President Trump’s effort to cut crime in the nation’s capital.
Bondi announced the number late Sunday in a social media post in which she also said over 300 arrests have been made since Trump officially deployed National Guard troops to D.C. on August 11. They are joined by officers from such federal agencies as the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency.
“Just last night, our federal and DC law enforcement partners made 68 arrests and seized 15 illegal firearms. Homicide suspects, drug traffickers, and more are being charged. I’ll continue to stand with you as we make DC safe again!” Bondi wrote.
About 800 Guard troops are now in D.C. with about 700 more from Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia expected to arrive this week.
