D.C. Councilmember on Trump’s Crackdown: “Not the Appropriate Response”

Season 2025 Episode 7293 | 18m 24s

National Guard troops have been deployed to Washington, D.C. to curb what Pres. Trump says is "out of control" crime. However, official statistics show crime numbers in the District are falling. While some support the deployment, others question its legality. City Councilmember Brooke Pinto is the youngest member in D.C. Council's history. Pinto joins the show to respond to the move.
