DC Councilmember, Ward 1. Advocate for affordable housing, stronger education and government transparency. Now also at https://t.co/eE4a2vYgpT

We're under siege by our own fed govt. The military occupation of DC is unlawful, unwarranted, and unwelcome. Thank you AG Schwalb for your leadership. I stand united with you and all the residents fighting for a free DC, and I support you in your fight to protect our residents.
NEW: We are suing to block the unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to DC. Armed soldiers should not be policing American citizens on American soil. The forced military occupation of the District of Columbia violates our local autonomy and basic freedoms. It must end.

This morning I joined @freedcproject_ and my Council colleagues to demand an end to the federal occupation of the District and to deliver a message to Republicans in Congress: you take care of your business, and we'll take care of ours.

With this executive order, the Mayor doesn’t speak for me and doesn’t speak for the vast majority of the residents of the District of Columbia. Her EO turns its back on all of us who are proud to call DC home and who disdain a militarized federal law enforcement presence.

We should not be arresting our unhoused neighbors. What we're witnessing on our streets is cruel, counterproductive, and unacceptable. Federal agents should not be patrolling our streets, terrifying our residents, and taking people away. The federal surge needs to end.
Last night, as my partner and I walked home, we witnessed a plainly excessive local & federal police operation to apprehend ONE (1) elderly unhoused woman who, as far as we could tell, was doing nothing more than sitting on a stoop. Not only MPD, but also FBI, USSS, IRS (?!),

This has never been about public safety. This is about power, and control, and intimidation.
“We don’t need federal police patrolling our streets, intimidating our residents, shadowing our police. And we don’t need ICE in our community at all, disappearing our people and targeting folks just because of the color of their skin.” —@BrianneKNadeau .

DC is under siege by our own fed govt, w/ armed military patrolling our streets & masked agents scooping up neighbors & taking them away. Our residents are afraid, hesitant to go out & to work, angry that our limited autonomy is being eroded. There is nothing welcome about this.
We, as city leaders, should be unequivocal that the federal surge of officers in DC and deployment of national guardsmen on our streets are dangerous, unnecessary, and an affront to Home Rule. We ought to be real clear about that. Real clear.

We also had an exciting ribbon-cutting at the newly renovated Adams Campus of the Oyster-Adams Bilingual School! This will be an incredible learning space for our children.

This morning my team and I visited Ward 1 schools to welcome students to their first day, support our families, and ensure kids were safe during arrival. It was amazing to see the outpouring of support from the community and everyone who showed up for our students.

Thriving local journalism is essential for our democracy. In times of crisis, we need strong reporting to keep our community informed. I'm proud to join. @CMLewisGeorgeW4 to introduce this legislation to support public investment in our local news outlets.
The need for public investment in local journalism is dire — a fact underscored by the events of the last two weeks. That's why I've introduced the Local New Funding Act. 📰. Read my full opinion in @51stnews: ➡️

Federal patrols will be ongoing tonight and reports indicate administration officials may join them. The goal of this announcement is clear: to provoke a reaction from our residents. We will not give them what they want. Stay calm, remain peaceful, and stay safe.

We continue to hear concerns about harmful, disturbing federal law enforcement activity & fears about their presence in our community. I hear your fears. Armed soldiers & federal agents in our neighborhoods do not make us safer- they undermine our democracy & put us all at risk.
