More than 130 people were arrested in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night amid the Trump administration’s federal law enforcement surge, including 30 illegal immigrants, a White House official said.
In total, 2,310 arrests have been made during the operation, according to the Department of Justice.
“D.C. today is far safer than it was a month ago thanks to President [Donald] Trump’s bold leadership,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told The Hill. “The Trump Administration looks forward to continued coordination with local leaders and encourages other Democrats to follow Mayor [Muriel] Bowser’s lead,”
Trump on Tuesday ate dinner out in Washington, touting his operation.
“Here I am standing out in the middle of the street,” he said. “I wouldn’t have done this three months ago, four months ago, I certainly wouldn’t have done it a year ago.
“This was one of the most unsafe cities in the country. Now it’s as safe as there is in the country. Everybody should go out.”
