The day after the “criminal emergency” announcement in Washington, US President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard units and took control of the US capital.
Approximately 800 members of the National Guard began to come to the city on Tuesday after the White House Directive, which built the municipal police department under the Federal Office. According to the law, Trump is allowed to supervise the DC police for up to 30 days, and said.
However, Karoline Leavtt, the printing of the White House, indicated that federal control could be extended, waiting for another overview and re -evaluation of the authorities.
Federal control extensions after this time would require congress approval, which would probably be difficult to achieve in the face of democratic resistance.

On Monday, about 850 officers and agents broke up on Monday and 23 people arrested overnight, Leitt said. The accusation, as she said, included murder, driving under the influence of alcohol, crimes and drug crimes and fare leaks.
Police of the US Park also removed 70 homeless camps over the last five months, she said. People who lived in them can leave, go to the homeless shelter or go to the treatment of drug addiction, Leavitt said. Those who refuse could face fines or prison.

The police are doing a powerful great job,” he said.
Bowser, Democrat, spent a large part of Trump’s first term openly Sparring with the Republican President. She dropped her initial plans for a military show through the streets and stood in a public opposition when he called the Federal Advocacy Agency to a more agency flood in the summer of 2020 to face the streets in the summer of 2020 to face the protesters against the police.
