DC is already the most policed city in this country, we don’t need the national guard too. Instead of investing in systems the community has built over the past 4 months, More Cop Muriel has once again chosen the militarized approach that will cause further harm to our community.

We are disappointed, but not surprised, that @MayorBowser has once again chosen a militarized response to a humanitarian issue. Our statement on @MayorBowser calling in the National Guard.

Mayor Bowser is emboldening the cruelty and xenophobia of Governor Abbott. Instead of recognizing that the DC community has responded beautifully in recent weeks to show that a community response is possible, she's choosing to further traumatize people arriving to DC after fleeing for their lives with a militarized response. It's despicable, and part of the ongoing militarization of humanitarian aid. The Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network has provided Mayor Bowser numerous opportunities to support migrants being bused here in a way that upholds our values as a Sanctuary City. But for four months she’s stonewalled us. Now, instead of listening to her constituents or following in the footsteps of other welcoming cities like San Antonio, she is aligning herself with Governor Abbott and his invasionist theory rhetoric that's grounded in white nationalism and antisemitism.

Muriel Bowser Eric Adams 🤝 Trying to pit asylum-seekers and already unhoused folks against each other to distract from their policy failures.

A few weeks ago, @CityLimitsNews learned that a number of asylum-seekers arriving in NYC were making their way to the Bronx family intake shelter. We set out to find out who they were and what brought them to NYC @dparramejia and I spoke with 7 families citylimits.org/2022/07/20/who

“Y’all looked like clowns on Jan. 6!” If only DC police behavior on J6 could have been predicted by local activists. @ItsNeeTay on Feb 15 & Nov 14 with the biggest “I told you so” of all-time. #DCProtests #CapitolRiots

In this aggressive unnecessary arrest on election night, Jason Bagshaw is arresting a well-known George Floyd protester. You can hear him saying “Jason”. Bagshaw knows him but just using moment to flex and abuse his power once again.

“What did I do? What did I do?” DC Police (MPD) snatch & grab protesters again on BLM Plaza. #ElectionNight arrests have been nearly every night this past week where Lt. Bagshaw has been particularly out of control, incl. arresting father/friends of #KaronHylton #Election2020

DC’s notorious Lt. Jason Bagshaw has now killed a man. Outside of every single DC protester including Karon Hylton’s parents who he arrested, who could have possibly seen this coming.

Lt. Bagshaw has consistent history of out-of-control illegal behavior. On Aug 29, Bagshaw rushes & smashes window of Portland Snack Van & drags out driver, violence that lands any non-cop in jail # DCProtests on #ElectionNight Video via @RichieMcGinniss

Since this assault on a medic, MPD promoted this pig TWICE, first to captain then to commander. He just murdered someone this past weekend
