“an MPD unit assigned to the area observed two rival gangs at the location. One of the gang members was surrounded by several members of the rival gang and the officer, believing that a fight was about to take place, requested additional units to respond to the location. No fight ever took place and the gang members were identified and sent on their way. No arrests were made during the incident. During the stop, several residents took out their cell phones and began recording the incident while shouting statements like “Leave the immigrants alone” and “Please don’t take them away”.
I just want to reiterate, that it is the policy of the Metropolitan Police Department that we do not participate in any type of immigration enforcement , nor do we inquire about any persons immigration status. MPD will continue to monitor any additional gang activity between these two groups and will take the appropriates action to prevent any further violence within the community.”

Turns out two rivals gangs were going to have a turf war. Sanctuary Cities is one thing but allowing our streets to be turned into the Killing Fields is wrong.
Many people come here from Central and South America to escape this type of violence only to discover that the law enforcement has been neutered by local politicians all
in the name of votes and political correctness.
Mexico is on pace for 30K murders this year. I have nothing against law abiding people coming to America and I want a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented citizens but if you
get involved in illegal activities that's wrong and telling our police that they can't make arrests in these cases is insane.

So there was no fight - what did you want MPD to arrest them for?
