The DC Government’s War on Southeast

In February, U.S. president Donald Trump called for a federal takeover of DC, claiming “too much crime” and “homeless encampments” are on and around federal property. Then he recently signed an executive order that establishes a task force to make D.C. “what it should be — the pride of every American to whom it belongs.” The taskforce will be made up of several federal agencies and chaired by his Homeland Security advisor. The response of DC Mayor Bowser has been to pledge her cooperation with the Trump administration, contrary to the feelings of DC residents. These developments spell new levels of repressive criminalization and economic oppression on the way against the Black / African people of the city, especially in Southeast.
