Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has traveled to Martha's Vineyard amid an intensified federal law enforcement presence in the city led by President Donald Trump. This move follows Trump's federal takeover of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, which includes deployment of federal agents such as U.S. Marshals to address a recent surge in violent crime and immigration-related offenses. In the past two days, federal authorities have made 156 arrests and seized 27 firearms. Bowser's office has described her trip as a "family commitment," specifically to pick up her daughter. The developments come as the city experiences heightened federal intervention to manage crime and homelessness, with Attorney General Bondi overseeing the federalized police operations. The situation has drawn attention to the political dynamics in Washington, D.C., as the mayor balances local governance with the federal government's increased role in city law enforcement.
