TRUMP, ICE AND NATIONAL GUARD SWEEP D.C.: High-Visibility Checkpoints, 630 Arrests and Status Checks Rock City

President Trump is set to join an evening patrol as a federal surge of ICE agents and National Guard troops conducts checkpoints across Washington, D.C., asking about immigration status and carrying out detentions. The operation — credited with 630 arrests since Aug. 7, including 251 people alleged to be in the country illegally — echoes high-visibility tactics used earlier in Los Angeles and has sparked legal challenges and community alarm.
