Is Muriel Bowser Working with ICE to please Trump?

After hearing about how Trump leaned on the NYC prosecutors to dismiss charges against Adams in exchange for NYC cooperating with deportation efforts, I ran across this post on Threads this morning:
So today, the concierge in my building, in the middle of NE DC, frantically told a latino delivery man on a scooter to get in our mailroom, as I was going downstairs to retrieve my package. I was confused, “why’d you do that?” I asked. She said look outside. I saw an MPD cruiser with its lights on in the front of my building, not super abnormal for city life. She said they have been coming by looking for these delivery men and arresting them on the spot, they are working with ICE. Did Muriel make a deal with the devil on the fed employees RTO issue in exchange for hunting down people to deport? |

| Illegal immigrants breaking the law shouldn’t be allowed to stay in the US. Why are you trying to encourage or support criminal activity? |

And from this Washingtonian article regarding DC’s level of operation, this actually might be happening (https://www.washingtonian.com/2025/02/14/how-a-dc-immigrant-resource-center-is-tackling-the-second-trump-administration/):
Some cities appear to be avoiding conflict with Trump by walking back their sanctuary city commitments. What can DC do to protect immigrants? The only thing a sanctuary city does is that they will not assist law enforcement unless ordered by a court. Their local police are not going to coordinate with ICE because immigration is the realm of the federal government and they are going to worry only about public safety as it relates to their laws. That’s all it says. But it is clear right now that with Trump, there’s a new bully on the playground and everybody is really negotiating with the bully individually. “How much of my candy do I need to go to him so he’s not going to hit me?” Municipalities take different approaches. Some are just quieter, trying to lower the target on your back, but are continuing to do the same things. DC is very different because we’re a federal district, and so the administration has more authority here. They can deputize the police force. The Trump administration can create those conditions and say, I’m deputizing all of your police force [for immigration enforcement]. Now, has he said he’s going to do that? No, there hasn’t been a direct threat. But remember, the threats are not just coming from the administration, it’s the entire government, because now there is a bill to basically take away Home Rule. |

That makes sens. Bowser went to Mar a Lago and kissed the ring. Trump owns her.
"The White House is in talks with the office of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, regarding what is contained in the order." https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-set-to-s...ess-and-crime-in-d-c |

I agree with you to a certain extent. My point is that Muriel is representing one position but appears she may be adopting another in actuality. Whatever her position is, it is important that her constituency knows this. |

Being in the country illegally is not a criminal offense. |

That’s just what Democrats do. They’re criminals. |

You mean, the moped crackdown that’s been doing on since July of last year? https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/06/11/moped-crackdown-food-delivery/ Tell me, OP, does the tinfoil hat come with a chinstrap? |

Being undocumented is a civil offense but crossing the border illegally is a criminal offense. |

No human is illegal. And any one of them could find a cure for cancer if left to live their lives in the USA. |
