Since President Donald Trump's federal intervention commenced on August 8, nearly half of non-immigration-related arrests in Washington D.C. occurred in Wards 7 and 8, areas known for high violence and low-income majority-Black neighborhoods. A total of 212 arrests were made, with 101 concentrated in these neighborhoods. This data counters assertions by critics who claimed the intervention lacked efficacy, highlighting significant law enforcement activity in regions severely affected by crime, despite initial mapping efforts focusing on more affluent D.C. areas.
Since the federal intervention in D.C. began on Aug. 8, 212 non-immigration-related arrests were made, with 101 occurring in the violent crime hotspots of Wards 7 and 8.
