I've long been following Dara Lind's reporting on immigration, at Vox and ProPublica in the past. Here's her excellent recent summary of what's going on DC.

"To understand what’s going on in D.C., it’s important to know that there are two distinct components to the federal takeover.

"One is the deployment of the National Guard – now including six states and counting, in addition to the D.C. guard – that is similar to what we saw in Los Angeles earlier this summer, with National Guard troops being used as a force multiplier to intimidate immigrants and their neighbors and carry out a 'show of force' in areas with high visibility.

"But the second, unique to D.C. and arguably more important, is the Trump administration’s use of the takeover to change rules about how the D.C. police operate."

#DC report: Go-Go Party takes over 14th and U area as a craven Trump "patrols" elsewhere

Trump's "Patrol" of DC with his Gestapo and SS seems to have been a "search and avoid" style joke. On 14th st where there have been so many confrontations a big and peaceful go-go party took control of most of the sidewalk. Trump meanwhile was reported to be somewhere in the Navy Yard area.

#DC update: ICE chased out of Columbia Heights in minutes

On the 19th of August, at least two masked Gestapo agents from ICE had the nerve to show their asses (not their faces of course) in heavily Latinx Columbia Heights. Within minutes, the growing and angry crowd forced them to go back to their silver truck and leave the area.

NICE GOING COLUMBIA HEIGHTS!
