Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday announced there have been nearly 200 arrests in the nation’s capital, including those of murder suspects and illegal gun offenders, since the Trump administration federalized the city to tackle crime.

Bondi announced Friday afternoon there have been 189 arrests in Washington, D.C., “and counting.”

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

Bondi’s announcement comes one day after she rescinded illegal immigration protections in D.C. and instated an “emergency police commissioner” for the police department.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

Bondi’s order, “Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia,” targeted the city’s sanctuary city policies and nixed limits on how MPD could interact with illegal immigrants.
