National Guard troops have begun patrolling the streets of Washington DC after President Trump took control of the police, citing a rise in crime. Mayor Bowser disputed Trump's claims, describing the mobilization as "authoritarian pressure". Despite the controversy, federal agents made arrests for various offenses. Although the data shows a drop in crime, the police union accuses the statistics of falsification. This tense context coincides with a manhunt for an armed suspect involved in a recent murder.
