He said they are deployed within a three mile radius of the Capitol. Are wards 7 and 8 inside the three miles? I don't think so.

This has nothing to do with “illegals” or legal immigration. Everyone is afraid. Parents are scared for their children to be out driving. US citizens are worried about when Trump and Federal law enforcement will kidnap their children from the street or schools.

American is done.


Get meds. Literally nobody who isn't in some state of psychological crisis is scared. This is BS propaganda that US citizens or legal aliens and especially their underage kids.. are just snatched up from the streets by masked men and taken who knows where. Maybe you are confusing this with trafficking? Worrying about ICE agents accosting you in public places is propaganda induced paranoia.

NP. You don’t live in DC. STFU. The police checkpoints are extremely unpleasant. The National Guard are carrying guns with orders to shoot if they feel threatened. Parents are rightly concerned; bullets can ricochet. We do not need this here. Trump can f** off.


Yes, stray bullets can kill you in DC. That’s actually why the Guard is here. To fix this problem.

DP. Except they are not doing anything about actual crime. They are hanging around the tourist areas which have significantly less crime than other parts of the city and setting up checkpoints in parts of NW to catch undocumented immigrants. They aren’t on patrol in Wards 7 or 8. Picking up trash in the federal parks and riding around the Mall on horseback isn’t doing a damn thing about gun violence.


CBS news is your friend:

“While some news reports and pundits suggested the deployments may have been in lower-crime areas, CBS News' analysis of the locations of reported crimes in 2025 indicates that the federal government deployed troops and other federal law enforcement agents mostly in areas with higher – and often much higher – rates of crime, violent crime and gun crime than the average neighborhood across the city.”

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/dc-crime-data-national-guard-deployments-analysis/


Did you actually read the full article?? The only high-crime deployment area they mention is the U Street NW coridoor.

“There are other areas of the city with high concentrations of crime where CBS News has not been able to verify sightings of troops or federal law enforcement deployments – primarily most of the neighborhoods southeast of the Anacostia River.”

There are thousand of nat’l guard troops here and they STILL AREN'T IN THE HIGHEST CRIME AREAS LIKE Ward 8.

Yeah you ass - they are deployed in the METRO, we know they have been deployed IN THE METRO, in safe protected buildings. They aren’t in the neighborhood, on the streets, in Ward 8.


Wow. That’s an amazing take. Bless you.

West or the park is "low crime" and they are not deployed there, so technically the reporting is accurate. But if you actually live here, we consider "high crime" to be east of the river, and they are not deployed there. You can see there is only one deployment dot east of the river.

Who cares? If you're not engaging in criminal activity, it's of no consequence to you. If you just don't like seeing people in uniforms, that's a you problem. I'd rather see that than homeless encampments and be importuned by beggars.

So CBS says the feds are in the high crime areas. Reuters confirms the feds are in Anacostia, specifically. Why are folks throwing sandwiches again?
