But the reality is too many people are scared right now to call 911.

And that means that, you know, people who commit crimes go free to commit other crimes.

And so it's not just the Latino community who's harmed by this, but it's everybody who needs stronger public safety.

And so it is a scary time right now for the Latino community and immigrant community, but for everybody in D.C.

Yeah, so what the president is doing here is his testing ground for what he's gonna try in cities across the country.

He starts with DC because it's easy, because we're not a state.

In no other city does he have, can he so easily take control of the local police force?

And so at the end of the day, this will continue to happen to us in Washington, DC until we get DC statehood.

And this is just making the case even clearer about why we need DC statehood and what the real life consequences are to people's lives for us not being a state.

People die because we're not a state.

But it starts in DC.

And then if it works here, he's going to go to Chicago.

He's going to go to Detroit.

He's going to go to Phoenix.

He's going to go to Philadelphia.

He's going to go to New York City.

The president has already previewed this, that if he can remake DC in line with his MAGA agenda, he's going to try this in cities across this country.

And the good news for us and for people across the country is that we can stop this from happening.

So the president has about reached his limit for what he can do unilaterally.

And now he has to go through Congress.
