Attorney General Pam Bondi: 'Over 300 Arrests in D.C. — and Counting'

"Over 300 arrests in D.C. — and counting," tweets Attorney General Pam Bondi. She continues by describing some of the action undertaken by law enforcement and concludes with the pledge, "I'll continue to stand with you as we make DC safe again!"

🚨 Over 300 arrests in D.C. — and counting:

Just last night, our federal and DC law enforcement partners made 68 arrests and seized 15 illegal firearms.

Homicide suspects, drug traffickers, and more are being charged.

Those numbers are tragically sad. They are tragically sad for those whose lives have been turned over by crime. They are tragically sad because of the criminals who perpetrated them. And they are tragically sad due to the amount of law enforcement resources required and utilized to suppress them.

Hope springs eternal that one day criminal activity will cease and desist. But that day is not here. So operations to put out such activity are undertaken. Two things result. One, any perpetrator of criminal activity who becomes charged is no longer able to continue that activity due to being removed from society. Two, those charged with crimes face the legal process. Perhaps those who are at risk of wandering down the same criminal path in the future will be dissuaded from doing so because of the work of law enforcement.
