Dozens arrested daily in DC but details are hidden

August 19, 2025

... a full picture about who has been arrested, where, for what and by whom is not yet clear.

Every day, the White House issues a summary of the previous night’s operation, including the number of arrests and some examples of arresting causes ...

The Washington Post repeatedly reached out to the White House for the arrest records undergirding their statistics and has not received answers to questions about the specific details of each arrest.

D.C. police deferred a similar request, saying the information needed to come from the White House. When asked specifically about the number of arrests made by local officers, not federal agents, D.C. police directed the questions to the mayor’s office, which is not responsible for arrest data and did not respond ...

As a result, there’s a black hole instead of the usually readily accessible basic information surrounding an arrest. For example, when D.C. police make an arrest there will be a “Public Incident Report” — a public document that includes, among other things: the offense and its location and date and a short description of what happened. D.C. police continue to provide the reports for crimes in which local officers made the arrest, but refuse to answer questions about many of the arrests made by the multiagency federal task force teams ...

these people were never seen again. There were stories of busses seen entering the farms owned by private equity, filled with haggard looking men and women, but no inspections were ever allowed. Smoke would occasionally be seen rising from the newly built brick “silos”…as they were initially called.

All that is known for certain is that none of those busses ever left with the cargo they entered with.

be a sign that Trump and his GESTAPO have already begun what I've long suspected would be his next phase:

Moving from what, up to now, has been the undisclosed ABDUCTION of allegedly "illegal" immigrants, by unidentified goons, for unknown reasons

to now undisclosed 'arrests' of US citizens (and more likely people of colour) under the auspices of "crime prevention."
