DEA Terry Cole: I’ve Received Calls From All Over the Country of Fed Agents Who Want to Help Make D.C. Safe Again
EXCERPT:
COLE: “I think that there’s a lot of dynamics with the D.C. City Council that are concerning. But at the end of the day, we are there to support law enforcement. We are there for law enforcement activities. We are there to hold people accountable for their violent criminal activity. And, you know, just in the last two days, we’ve had 60 arrests that are very impactful. We’ve taken 17 firearms off the streets. Last night, we arrested somebody that was wanted for a murder. We have tremendous cooperation, tremendous intel sharing. And what’s most encouraging, the police are looking forward to doing their job again. And Martha, I have to tell you, I’ve been receiving phone calls from all over the country of other federal agents that want to fly in and help. They want to be part of making D.C. safe again. They want to be part of this law enforcement effort, similar to what we did in northern Virginia when I was a Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security for Governor Youngkin.”
