Demand Accountability and Justice in Washington, D.C. Policing Practices

Related Article: Nearly 70 arrested overnight in Washington amid crackdown on crime - armenpress.am - Monday, August 18, 2025, 2:29:15 AM Eastern Daylight Time

Target: Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, D.C. City Council, and the U.S. Department of Justice

Goal: Ensure transparency, accountability, and humane treatment in law enforcement actions in Washington, D.C., particularly regarding mass arrests and the displacement of homeless individuals.

Recent mass arrests and the clearing of homeless encampments in Washington, D.C. raise serious concerns about civil liberties, due process, and the treatment of vulnerable communities. We call on city and federal officials to ensure that public safety measures respect human rights and prioritize community well-being.

In the wake of President Trump's recent 'crackdown on crime,' nearly 70 people were arrested in a single night in Washington, D.C., with over 300 arrests reported in just ten days. These actions have included the seizure of illegal firearms and the dismantling of homeless encampments, often targeting marginalized and vulnerable populations.

While public safety is important, mass arrests and the forced removal of unhoused individuals do not address the root causes of crime or homelessness. Instead, such tactics risk violating civil liberties, perpetuating cycles of poverty, and undermining trust between communities and law enforcement.

We urge city and federal officials to prioritize transparency, due process, and humane policies that address the needs of all residents—especially those most at risk. Policing should not come at the expense of justice, dignity, and the right to safe housing.
