Trump's D.C. takeover escalates with surge in arrests

Season 2025 Episode 226 | 6m 36s

The Trump administration’s federal takeover of Washington, D.C. is escalating with arrests at high-profile locations and homeless encampments torn down. Protests also erupted in the streets after the White House said federal agents would patrol around the clock. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Juliette Kayyem, a former Homeland Security official now at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
