Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) head and new overseer of DC police Terry Cole outlined the Trump administration’s “unified effort” for reducing violent crime in the nation’s capital after meeting with the police chief Tuesday.
“We cannot afford to turn a blind eye,” Cole told “The Story.” “We have tremendous cooperation, tremendous intel sharing, and what’s most encouraging, the police are looking forward to doing their job again.”
President Donald Trump federalized Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Monday, enabling federal agencies and the National Guard to supervise local police but not make arrests themselves.
On Monday night, 850 National Guard officers patrolled the streets of the capital.
Cole touted the arrests that followed Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement.
“Just in the last two days, we’ve had 60 arrests that are very impactful. We’ve taken 17 firearms off the streets. Last night, we arrested somebody that was wanted for a murder,” he shared.
The DEA administrator went on to clarify how federal agents will work “hand in hand” with MPD.
“Starting tonight, we will be embedded with the Metropolitan Police Department,” Cole announced. “You will also see an increase of activity, patrol activity in certain sectors, to go after the violent criminal offenders that are the drivers of this crime.”

They need to supervise the “judges”, “prosecutors” and “DAs”.
Crime is just reparations by another name.
That hit the funny bone RR...thx!
I was watching an old Jimmy Stewart movie, “Broken Arrow,” about Cochise. When the Apaches are deciding on a peace treaty, Geronimo complains that they won’t be able to raid people for guns and food the way they always have, that becoming ranchers would be embarrassing. Whether or not that’s how Apaches thought I don’t know, but it’s evidently the way a large collection of “teens” think, that stealing is honorable and working for a living is embarrassing.
Being a criminal is entrepreneurial and honorably rebellious against whitey.
I wish Americans could earn a commission for reporting illegals if the report leads to a successful deportation.
Yes, an excellent way to earn some extra money doing real community service.
I was explaining to my wife yesterday that while DC crime has always been bad (unlike the cooked up numbers showing huge declines in crime), that the real reason Trump is interested in policing DC is because “Big Balls” got assaulted while defending his girlfriend.
Report and Deort!
Bounty of $1,000 per illegal alien reported that results in a deportation.
A HUGE cost savings for the country!
“’Big Balls’ got assaulted while defending his girlfriend.”
When I read/heard it, he didn’t know the girl who was being assaulted. He was with his girlfriend at the time, and secured her in his car before going out to help.
While I’m sure most genuinely want to help I’d bet Per Deim in DC is sky high.
Surrounded in DC. Please help.
Reporting these days sucks so bad that basic facts are made into unintelligible spaghetti by brainless “reporters”.
Who knows?
Has some municiple judge in CA stopped this yet?

Trump may expect them to do what they do. He’s setting them up…
