As US Marshals offer reward for tips, arrests continue to climb in DC
Share this @internewscast.com

The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $500 reward for tips that lead to arrests in Washington, D.C. This initiative is part of the Trump administration’s increased efforts to boost the arrest rate in the capital.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi shared information about the reward program on social media, urging the public to provide tips in what is described as a “public safety surge” initiative in the city.

The shared link directs users to a website for reporting fugitives, missing individuals, threats against federal judges, and more. It also asks for details about potential suspects.

According to reports, since federal agents have been deployed, the number of arrests per day has risen by 20%. This figure, reported by the Associated Press, contrasts with data from district officials, whose accuracy has been questioned by Trump.

According to White House officials, at least 630 people have been arrested in D.C. since the crackdown started, including three known gang members.

On Wednesday, Gady Serralta, director of the U.S. Marshals Service, mentioned on ‘CUOMO’ that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and his increased control over D.C. police have shown noticeable results.

“We’ve picked up five murderers. We’ve picked up two sex offenders,” Serralta said. “And that’s going to ramp up now.”

DC mayor responds to DOJ probe into crime rates

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday said she and other city officials plan to fully comply with any federal investigations.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department is investigating whether officials at the Metropolitan Police Department have manipulated crime data, according to sources familiar with the situation.

City leaders have repeatedly pointed to that data, which puts violent crime at a 30-year low in the nation’s capital, to argue against Trump’s federal takeover.

As he deployed hundreds of National Guard members to the area, Trump continually claimed violent crime was getting worse in D.C. despite data from the district saying otherwise.
