Since day one, we knew the so-called emergency was only about projecting power and harming our residents.
But @washingtonpost.com's analysis showing 80% of immigrants arrested had no criminal records only underscores Trump's sole focus on racially profiling and targeting immigrant communities.

More than 80 percent of the immigrants arrested in D.C. during the surge in federal law enforcement had no prior criminal record, federal data shows, even though that crackdown was portrayed as targeting violent crime.
Most immigrants arrested in Trump’s D.C. crackdown had no criminal records
A Post analysis of federal data shows that the arrests of immigrants with no prior criminal record shot up sixfold during the Trump administration’s crackdown.

Inspiring to be with coaches, teachers, and organizations serving and mentoring our young people at Fight For Children’s Youth Sports Town Hall. ⚽⛹️🏅
Youth sports are not just a nice-to-have line item in our budget—they are public safety, physical health, and mental health infrastructure.

Last night, the US District Court ruled that Trump's warrantless ICE arrests are illegal and unconstitutional.
This ruling is the result of countless residents resisting and documenting experiences on the ground. We must stand firm: our immigrant neighbors deserve dignity, safety, and justice.

NEW: Judge Howell barred the Trump administration from continuing to make warrantless immigration arrests in DC unless there is probable cause to believe there is a risk of flight.
The admin illegally lowered the standard, she said.

The misclassification of workers is wage theft. It's stealing from workers and the families and communities they support with their hard-earned money.
No employer should ever underpay their workers—especially not when that work is funded through generous public subsidies.
WORKER WIN: A construction company will pay $725,000 in restitution and penalties over wage theft.
Christian Siding illegally misclassified more than 200 workers at 16 projects and failed to pay prevailing wages at 3 DC-funded affordable housing projects.
In DC, what you earn is what you are owed.

PORCH POLICY UPDATE: The D.C. Council just passed an emergency bill introduced by @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social that will make it easier for porchfest music events (like those in Petworth and Adams Morgan) to apply for and receive permits from the city.

Big news: the Council just passed an emergency version of my Porchfest Permitting Act!
Porchfest is one of the best events of the year — not only for neighbors, but for local businesses, musicians, and main streets.
Today, we made it easier to neighbors to take part in these amazing events.

Did you know that when you shop locally, your dollars are reinvested by small businesses 2-4x more than they would be if you shopped at a big retailer?
On Small Business Saturday and throughout the holiday season, shop local and shop small!

I unequivocally condemn today's violence in our city. I pray for the National Guard members and their families, who should be gathering tomorrow in celebration, but now face tragedy. My deepest thanks go out to DC's first responders, including MPD, DC Fire & EMS for their heroic response.

Mayor Bowser has served the District faithfully — first as an ANC Commissioner, then as a Councilmember, and now as a three-term Mayor. She has guided our city through difficult times, secured important investments, and worked hard to strengthen our communities.
It has been the honor of a lifetime to be your mayor.

Too many tenants in the District are enduring dangerous housing violations while court proceedings drag on and negligent landlords fail to make basic repairs.
Proud to co-introduce the STRONG Homes Act led by OAG and CM White, creating stronger tools to protect tenants across #Ward4 and DC.

As the Office of the Attorney General, we focus on the buildings with the most severe housing violations.
Our new bill with @robertwhitedc.bsky.social will protect tenants in these dangerous conditions.
The STRONG Homes Act empowers DC to act faster and more effectively to ensure repairs are made.

This morning, I had the pleasure of visiting Whittier ES to speak with the incredible 2nd graders about what it means to serve our community.
Impressed by their thoughtful questions about civic engagement and inspired by all the ways they are already making a difference.
