End the Militarization of D.C.: Protect Civil Liberties and Immigrant Rights
Related Article: Over 300 arrested during 10 days of federal law enforcement in DC - thenationaldesk.com - Sunday, August 17, 2025, 5:59:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: The White House, U.S. Department of Justice, and D.C. Mayor's Office
Goal: We call for an immediate end to the federal militarization of Washington, D.C., the withdrawal of National Guard troops, and the protection of immigrant and community rights.
The recent deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., has led to the arrest of over 300 individuals in just ten days, with nearly half of those arrested being undocumented immigrants. This aggressive enforcement strategy, coupled with a heavy military presence, threatens the civil liberties of all D.C. residents and visitors, especially immigrants and communities of color.
While public safety is important, the use of militarized tactics and the targeting of undocumented individuals undermines community trust and creates fear, rather than safety. Studies have shown that crime in D.C. is already on the decline, calling into question the necessity and proportionality of this federal intervention.
We demand an immediate end to the militarization of our city, the withdrawal of federal troops, and the protection of the rights and dignity of all residents, regardless of immigration status. Community-based solutions, not federal crackdowns, are the path to true public safety and justice.
Key Demands
- Immediately withdraw all federal law enforcement and National Guard troops from Washington, D.C.
- Cease the targeting and arrest of undocumented immigrants during federal operations.
- Ensure transparency and public accountability for all law enforcement actions taken during this operation.
- Invest in community-based public safety initiatives that address root causes of crime without militarization.
- Protect the civil liberties and human rights of all D.C. residents, regardless of immigration status.
