Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that 68 people were arrested in Washington, D.C. , overnight as the National Guard and federal officers continue to patrol the streets of the U.S. capital.

The arrests included homicide suspects and drug traffickers, while 15 illegal firearms were also seized, Bondi said on Sunday afternoon. That brings the total number of arrests since President Donald Trump declared a “crime emergency” in the city to over 300, nearly half of which are immigration-related.
