WASHINGTON (AP) — Around 2 a.m., noisy revelers emerging from clubs and bars packed the sidewalks of U Street in Washington, many of them seeking a late-night slice or falafel. A robust but not unusual contingent of city police cruisers lingered around the edges of the crowds. At other late-night hot spots, nearly identical scenes unfolded.
What wasn’t apparent in Friday’s earliest hours: any sort of security lockdown by a multiagency flood of uniformed federal law enforcement officers. That’s what President Donald Trump had promised Thursday, starting at midnight, in the administration’s latest move to impose its will on the nation’s capital.
In short, that law enforcement surge to take control of the District of Columbia’s streets did not appear to unfold on schedule. A two-hour city tour, starting around 1 a.m. Friday, revealed no overt or visible law enforcement presence other than members of the Metropolitan Police Department, the city’s police force.
That still might change in the coming evenings as Trump puts into action his long-standing plans to “take over” a capital city he has repeatedly slammed as unsafe, filthy and badly run. According to his Thursday declaration, the security lockdown will run for seven days, “with the option to extend as needed.” In an online post Saturday, the Republican president said the Democratic-led city would soon be one of the country’s safest and he announced a White House news conference for Monday, though he offered no details.
On Friday night, a White House official said Thursday night’s operations included arrests for possession of two stolen firearms, suspected fentanyl and marijuana. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The official said more than 120 members of various federal agencies — the...

After he takes over DC, Trump should take over all the dysfunctional leftist enclaves.
Isn’t it Capitol? I mean it is Associated Press, with journalists.
DO IT!
Idiot AP tries their best to make it like it’s nothing but young people having fun late at night in DC and the President wants to stop them by using thug federal troops and arrogant police to stop their revelry...
We need PDJT to bring order to California.
The people most interested in the possible crackdown are all of the thugs, gangs, BLM, cartels, Antifa, the democRATS and DemoKKKrats.
But you repeat yourself.
“What wasn’t apparent in Friday’s earliest hours: any sort of security lockdown by a multiagency flood of uniformed federal law enforcement officers. That’s what President Donald Trump had promised Thursday, starting at midnight, in the administration’s latest move to impose its will on the nation’s capital.”
Oh the drama!!!!
Isn’t it Capitol?
Democrats are incapable of self governance.
They’re worried Trump is going to take over and reduce crime, corruption, dangerous streets, fake voters, stolen money from taxpayers, and waste? Yep. They’d be OUT OF A JOB if he does.
AP = all propaganda.
What Bondi is not recognizing at this point is that the the individuals who are getting young boys to commit crimes because the kids will get easy treatment from the courts are committing RICO violations.
The first element to a RICO charge is the establishment of an “organization. It doesn’t have to be a formal organization. An “association in fact” meets that element of the crime.
It’s not as difficult to establish that element as some might think. The other three elements are easy to prove. It’s similar to what took down the various Mafia families in NYC.
Bowser would probably welcome it - it would absolve her of any responsibility and she could criticize from the sidelines.
U Street used to be the main shopping & entertainment street for black folks in the NW quadrant of Washington.
Capital - a city
Capitol - a building
“young boys to commit crimes”
very violent crimes in various cities
That suggests media is poisoning their minds.
no one is getting arrested for anything so what are they worried about?
Capital, also money or funds.
AP = Always Propaganda
Update. Reads to me like Pres. Trump lowers the boom on DC tomorrow...
