National Guard Left Unarmed At Request Of D.C. Mayor Amid Potential Unrest After Chauvin Verdict\">law enforcement activity<\/a> in Washington, D.C., authorities arrested 29 illegal immigrants as part of President Donald Trump&#8217;s crackdown on crime in the city. These arrests were made amid a broader operation involving hundreds of Metropolitan Police officers and National Guard members, resulting in 45 arrests overall. Many of those detained had final orders of removal. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >arrested individuals faced charges ranging<\/a> from assault on federal officers and drug trafficking to possession of illegal firearms, including a reported assault involving a Subway sandwich. FBI director Kash Patel noted that three illegal firearms were seized. <\/p>\n<p>This enforcement follows earlier nights where dozens were arrested for various crimes including homicide,stalking,and firearm offenses. Officials emphasize cooperation between local police and federal immigration authorities to end Washington, D.C.&#8217;s sanctuary city status. <\/p>\n<p>A recent Washington Post poll cited by Leavitt reveals that 65 percent of D.C. residents consider crime a serious problem, a view supported by the Metropolitan Police department Union, which agrees with the Trump administration&#8217;s approach. While some media outlets have downplayed the crime statistics, FBI data shows only a modest 10 percent drop in violent crime since the start of 2024.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed on Thursday that authorities arrested 29 illegal immigrants in just one night during President Donald Trump&rsquo;s crackdown on Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of Metropolitan Police Department officers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/maam-long-past-time-ex-capitol-police-chief-hits-pelosi-3-damning-memories-criticized-trump-dc-national-guard-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Guard<\/a> members made 45 arrests on Wednesday night, which included the 29 illegal immigrants who are now in detention, Leavitt said on &ldquo;Fox &amp; Friends.&rdquo; Many of these illegal immigrants had final orders of removal at the time of their arrests.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There were 29 illegal aliens who removed off of Washington, D.C.&rsquo;s streets last night.
