DOJ -As Carjackings Decline in D.C., Defendants Face 57-Count Indictment for Spree of Armed Carjackings and Shootings
December 2024 Had Fewest Carjackings in Months; January May See Greater Decline
https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/carjackings-decline-dc-defendants-face-57-count-indictment-spree-armed-carjackings-and


and now:

Spree of Violent Armed Carjackings and Armed Robberies Results in Guilty Plea
https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/carjackings-decline-dc-defendants-face-57-count-indictment-spree-armed-carjackings-and

...again, the fact that there was another carjacking, or that there most certainly will be another, is not legitimate pretext for the Trump administration to federalize the D.C government OR their police forces.

They need to continue cooperating, as they clearly have been with successes which neither the president or OTHERS seem to want to acknowledge; without any need for this totalitarianism directed against Democratic cities.
