TRUMP TOUTS DC GUARD CRACKDOWN, TEASES NEXT CITY AS DEPORTATION DRIVE EXPANDS; WHITE HOUSE SAYS 2,200 ARRESTS

At a high-profile dinner outing near the White House, President Trump promoted his Washington, D.C. surge that federalized local policing and mobilized the National Guard, citing a crime crackdown tied to tougher immigration enforcement. The White House says nearly 2,200 arrests have been made since Aug. 7, as the president hints another city will be announced imminently and amplifies rhetoric about deportations. The DC push comes after deployments in Los Angeles and amid preparations and legal resistance in other Democratic-led cities, including Chicago, where officials brace for intensified immigration enforcement.
