Bondi announces nearly 200 arrests 'and counting' as federal agents swarm nation's capital

Among those arrested were two homicide suspects, 17 suspected drug traffickers, 39 suspected illegal gun offenders, and two sexual predators, according to Bondi.

"This is what happens when you actually enforce the law," Bondi wrote in a post on X. "We're taking back our Nation's Capital! Together, we will make D.C. Beautiful & Safe Again."

Nearly 50 people were arrested on Wednesday night alone, including 29 illegal immigrants.

Bondi's announcement comes one day after she rescinded illegal immigration protections in D.C. and instated an "emergency police commissioner" for the police department.

Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator (DEA) Terry Cole will take over for Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith, who has come under fire for directives that limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
