Mass. man arrested after stealing truck with two French bulldogs inside, police say
Police arrested a Brockton man on Friday after he stole a pickup truck with two French bulldogs inside it from a McDonald's parking lot in Weymouth the day prior, according to police. Marcus Morse, 29, has been charged with two counts of animal cruelty and larceny over $1,200 and one count of larceny of a motor vehicle, receiving a stolen motor vehicle and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, Weymouth police said in a press release. Morse is also facing criminal charges out of Winchendon and Falmouth District Courts. On Aug. 7, Weymouth police responded to the McDonald's at 701 Bridge St. around 4:30 p.m. for a report that a vehicle had been stolen, the police department said. At the scene, a woman said she'd left her Nissan Frontier in the parking lot unlocked with the keys inside as she picked up food from the restaurant. Two small French bulldogs were in the truck when it was stolen. Detectives continued their investigation into the theft the next day and soon found that someone was trying to sell the stolen pickup online, police said. The seller's listing included a photo of the truck with its license plate. Investigators soon discovered that the pickup was now located at Morse's home in Brockton, police said. Officers found the two dogs still in the truck, which had heated up internally. Brockton Animal Control evaluated the dogs before releasing them into Weymouth police custody, police said. Officers arrested Morse at the scene. No further information has been released.

Trump to deploy National Guard to D.C. and federalize city police
President Trump announced Monday that he's seizing control of D.C.'s police force and deploying the National Guard into the city. Why it matters: It's a major escalation of a federal crackdown already underway in the nation's capital as Trump targets crime in the District following the assault of a former DOGE staffer. The big picture: The news comes on what Trump is calling the " Liberation Day" of D.C., which he has said is "one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World," despite crime declining in the District. What they're saying: "We're going to take our Capital back," Trump said at the Monday press conference. "[It's] been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people, and we're not going to let it happen anymore." State of play: Around 450 federal law enforcement officers from departments including the Amtrak Police Department, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of the Interior were already deployed across the city Saturday and Sunday nights, according to Fox 5 and the White House. Officers made multiple arrests Saturday night, including for larceny, carrying pistols with a license, and a "final order of removal" of an undocumented immigrant, per the White House. They also confiscated drugs like fentanyl, crack cocaine, and methamphetamine. Officers also made several arrests on Friday and claimed multiple guns, per Fox 5. Between the lines: The D.C. Guard says it has some 2,700 personnel available. It's the country's only National Guard unit reporting exclusively to the president.

Trump ups rhetoric on D.C. crime and homelessness amid federal crackdown
President Trump upped his rhetoric about disarray in D.C. over the weekend while federal law enforcement officers spread across the city under a week-long crime crackdown. Why it matters: The president has hinted more action is coming for the District — heplans to host a press conference Monday at 10am with a lofty goal: "ending the Crime, Murder, and Death in our Nation's Capital," per a post on Truth Social. He'll also address cleanliness and "General Physical Renovation" of D.C. The big picture: Trump's view that crime in the nation's capital is "totally out of control" comes as crime is declining in the city. Nonviolent arrests are up under Trump's " D.C. Safe and Beautiful" executive order, which launched a federal task force in March. Driving the news: Trump ordered homeless individuals to "move out" of the city in a Sunday Truth Social post, vowing to "make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before." He promised individuals "places to stay," but "FAR from the Capital." Trump added that "[c]riminals" would be jailed — where he said they "belong" — and that it all will happen "very fast." State of play: The FBI is deploying approximately 120 agents across the city in overnight shifts to assist D.C. police in combating crimes such as carjackings, according to The Washington Post. The Secret Service and the U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division have also been instructed to begin patrols. The Trump administration hasn't coordinated with D.C. police on how best to deploy these federal officers across the city, reports the Post. Meanwhile, around 450 federal law enforcement officers from departments including the Amtrak Police Department, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of the Interior were deployed Saturday night across the city, Fox 5 reports. Officers made several arrests on Friday and claimed multiple guns, per Fox 5. What they're saying: "In just a few nights, President Trump's bold actions to Make D.C. Safe Again have already removed dangerous weapons and illegal drugs from D.C. streets — and that's not even taking into account the countless potential crimes that were deterred thanks to a large, visible law enforcement presence," White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson tells Axios in a statement. Mayor Muriel Bowser, appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend" Sunday, emphasized the decline in violent crime in the city for the second straight year, saying, "We are not experiencing a crime spike." "Any comparison to a war-torn country is hyperbolic and false," she stated. Between the lines: On Sunday, police chief Pamela Smith announced a temporary Juvenile Curfew Zone in Navy Yard after a teen shooting over the weekend. It prohibits persons under 17 from gathering in groups of nine or more from 8-11pm through Wednesday. Last week, Trump slammed the city for being too lax on juvenile offenders following an assault on a former DOGE staffer, after which two teens were arrested. Context: Last month, the president signed an executive order seeking to make it easier for cities to remove people experiencing homelessness, directing placement in "long-term" institutions for treatment to "restore public order." Advocacy groups slammed the order, which encourages the use of involuntary civil commitment — a process of placing people with mental health issues in treatment facilities without their consent. Between the lines: Trump can't just "federalize" D.C. A takeover would require Congress to overturn the city's home rule, which allows residents to elect their mayor and council members. Under that arrangement, Congress retains oversight of city laws, and the president can temporarily take over D.C. police if he "determines that special conditions of an emergency nature exist."
