National Guard vehicle collides with civilian car near US Capitol, trapping one person
One person was trapped inside the car after the accident and had to be extricated by emergency responders, according to D.C. fire department spokesman Vito Maggiolo. The person was transported to a hospital with minor injuries.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash. A video posted online showed a tan-colored armored vehicle and a silver SUV with a crushed side. The military vehicle was twice the height of the civilian car.
'You come to our city and this is what you do? Seriously?' a woman yelled at the troops in the video.
The driver was conscious and breathing, and the injuries were not considered life threatening, police said.
An estimated 1,900 troops are being deployed in D.C. More than half are coming from Republican-led states that are responding to requests from Trump administration officials.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said more than 550 people have been arrested so far, and the U.S. Marshals are offering $500 rewards for information leading to additional arrests.

Guatemala grants temporary status to 161 Mexicans fleeing organized crime
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Guatemala on Wednesday granted temporary humanitarian status to 161 Mexicans who fled their country last week seeking refuge from organized crime, even as Mexican officials denied that anyone had been displaced. The Guatemalan Immigration Institute said that 39 families, including 69 children, from the Mexican municipality of Frontera Comalapa would be allowed temporarily to remain legally in the country. The families were staying in rented homes, with relatives or in temporary shelters in the Guatemalan border town of La Mesilla. But Eduardo Ramírez, governor of the Mexican border state of Chiapas, said Wednesday on X that those who went to Guatemala have relatives who have been arrested and are facing charges in Mexico, a claim he made without providing evidence. 'The organized crime that operates in the neighboring country of Guatemala wants to discredit our public safety strategy that has given tranquility and social peace in Chiapas' by saying people have been forcibly displaced by crime, Ramírez wrote. 'I categorically deny that fact.' It was not the first time that Mexicans crossed the border to escape violence. In July of last year, nearly 600 crossed at another point on the border. Two of Mexico's most powerful cartels from the northern states of Sinaloa and Jalisco have been battling for control of smuggling routes in the area of southern Mexico in recent years causing multiple displacements. In June, Chiapas state police pursued suspects into Guatemala and engaged in a shootout. ____ Follow AP's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at

DC officials say Trump crackdown is about immigration, power
Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) and other officials in Washington, D.C., say the Trump administration's crime crackdown is really about exerting power and elevating immigration enforcement — not making D.C. safer. While top Trump officials say the high-profile deployments have had the immediate effect of stifling crime in the District, local critics are raising questions about both the geographic placement of National Guard troops and federal officers — who have been most prominent in tourist hotspots and other wealthier parts of the city — and the focus of the criminal crackdown. Of the 556 arrests tallied by the White House since it began increasing federal law enforcement presence on Aug. 7, nearly half of the arrests,233, have been classified by the administration as illegal aliens, a White House official said Tuesday. 'I think it makes the point that this is not about D.C. crime,' Bowser said earlier in the week, adding that the administration should be transparent about its intent. 'Nobody is against focusing on driving down any level of violence,' Bowser said. 'And so if this is really about immigration enforcement, the administration should make that plain.' The list of those arrested includes immigrants with alleged criminal histories of assault, kidnapping, burglary and larceny, the White House official said. But it also includes delivery drivers arrested as they tried to pick up food from commercial venues, sparking a backlash from human rights advocates and some D.C. residents. Fueling the criticisms, the highest profile arrest to date was that of a Justice Department employee accused of throwing a sandwich at an agent of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in a section of the city best known for its vibrant nightlife. Other high-profile or viral encounters have largely centered on immigration. Video captured at least five masked agents who refused to answer questions about what agency they were with as they used a stun gun on a delivery driver before placing the man in an unmarked vehicle. When an onlooker said the officers were ruining the country, one federal agent responded 'liberals already ruined it.' In another case, a man captured video of his delivery driver as he was detained just minutes away, arrested by officers after the Arabic speaker was apparently unable to answer questions posed by officers. The apparent focus on immigration has prompted protests around the city. In one high-profile example, video from Tuesday shows a crowd in the Columbia Heights neighborhood marching behind a group of ICE agents and chanting 'ICE go home' until the agents reach their vehicles and leave the area. The following day, the administration pushed back against the demonstrations, dispatching Vice President Vance, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to Union Station, the transportation hub where National Guard troops have been stationed for days. Vance touted the National Guard presence as 'a great example of what's possible when you actually have the political willpower to bring law and order and common decency back to the public spaces of the United States of America,' while Miller railed against 'stupid white hippies' protesting the crackdown. Some Democrats say the president has launched the tough-on-crime effort merely to deflect attention away from the ongoing saga surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender who had past ties to Trump and his elite social circle in South Florida. 'Trump is using DC as a stage and DC residents as props in a political play to distract from his Epstein problem,' Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) posted on X. 'This is unacceptable.' Charles Allen, a D.C. councilmember, cast the takeover as a way to assert control and distract from problems within the Trump presidency. 'Authoritarianism, power, and control — what this has all been about — made plain,' he wrote on X last week. 'It might make sense if he's trying to create compelling TV and distract folks from the real scandals he's facing, but it doesn't make our city safer & it's a dangerous abuse of power and authority,' he added later. Announcing his D.C.-crime crackdown earlier in the month, Trump said it was necessary to combat levels of crime in Washington he portrayed as dystopian. The surge in federal forces would 'rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor, and worse,' he said. But during that announcement, Trump repeatedly turned to the topic of immigration. 'This city will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals,' he said. 'We will have full, seamless, integrated cooperation at all levels of law enforcement, and we'll deploy officers across the district with an overwhelming presence.' Initially, the administration deployed 800 unarmed National Guard troops, on top of hundreds of other officers across a host of agencies like the FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Since then, the numbers have grown dramatically, with six GOP-led states sending their National Guard forces to D.C. at the request of the administration, bringing the total to nearly 2,000 various law enforcement officers patrolling D.C. Additionally, the Guard members will begin carrying weapons, according to numerous reports. During a press briefing on Wednesday, Bowser made clear that she doesn't support the surge of military troops. 'I don't think the National Guard should be used for law enforcement,' she said. 'Calling women from their homes and their jobs and their families — they have to be used on mission-specific items that benefit the nation. I don't think you have an armed militia in the nation's capital.' The D.C. Police Union, which says it represents 3,000 of the city's law enforcement officers, has hailed the arrival of the federal reinforcements as a necessary step in combating violent crime in the nation's capital. The union posted numbers on Monday indicating that crime in D.C. plummeted in the first week after Trump announced the law enforcement surge, versus the week prior. Violent crimes, the group said, were down 22 percent over that span, while all crimes were down 8 percent. Carjackings saw the greatest change, down 83 percent. 'At the direction of @POTUS, our nation's capital is a SAFER place — and we are just getting started,' U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted Tuesday on X. Bondi said the surge has led to the seizure of 76 guns, including nine on Monday night alone. On Wednesday, Bondi promoted a new campaign from the U.S. Marshals Office offering a $500 reward for information leading to an arrest during the federal surge. 'Together, we will make DC safe again!' she wrote. Violent crime in D.C., which saw a large spike during the COVID pandemic, has since plummeted even long before Trump's policing campaign, however, raising questions about the true effectiveness of the federal surge. Offenses related to carjackings, for example, fell from 319 through the first eight months of 2024 to 190 over the same span this year, according to D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department. Given those trends, Trump's critics see a more menacing campaign, warning that the militarization of Washington's streets brings with it an authoritarian air that's quickly damaged certain businesses. That includes restaurants, which saw a plunge in reservations in the days after the administration's law enforcement takeover. 'The whole region understands that oppression of people in Washington hurts everybody who lives in our region,' Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.), the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, told MSNBC on Tuesday. 'We don't want to see people's rights being trampled there.' The crackdown comes as D.C. Police officers have been under pressure to do more to assist federal officers with immigration enforcement. D.C. police have traditionally sought to bar its officers from taking actions based solely on immigration status if someone doesn't otherwise have a criminal warrant out for their arrest. But in a move that was later shifted under court scrutiny, Bondi sought to appoint a new D.C. police commissioner while also seeking to unwind D.C. laws limiting police involvement in immigration enforcement. Immigration advocates in D.C. say now any brush with law enforcement could be disastrous for migrants. 'This disturbing policy strips away the rights and safety of our communities. Even the most common police interactions—such as a traffic violation or reporting a crime—can have life-altering consequences for immigrants, including detention and deportation,' Amica Center for Immigrant Rights said in a statement before Bondi's order was tamed by the courts. 'This policy adds to the atmosphere of fear and distrust, perpetuates racial profiling, and criminalizes innocent people.'

Tearful parents of Camp Mystic flooding victims plead for tougher safety measures
Between tears and anger, mothers and fathers of children who died at Camp Mystic in central Texas in a flood on July 4 pleaded with state lawmakers Wednesday to toughen safety at summer camps. One by one, the parents proudly described their young children's personalities, quirks and achievements before they shared their nightmare of grief, guilt and loss through tears and sobs. But they also admonished lawmakers to approve a series of reforms that could prevent such a tragedy from happening again. Their heartbreaking testimony in the bicameral committee hearing also led some senators to cry. Among the parents who testified were the mother and father of Cile Steward, the only girl still missing out of 27 children and counselors who died at the girls' camp when the Guadalupe River overflowed several feet in a matter of hours, sweeping through wooded summer camps, homes and businesses. A total of 120 people were killed in Kerr County, including those from Camp Mystic. Cile's mother, CiCi Williams Steward, told the lawmakers she had been assured that the safety of the girls at Camp Mystic was paramount. But that assurance was 'betrayed' by obvious and commonsense safety measures and protocols that were absent or ignored, she said. 'As a result, my daughter was stolen from us not because of an unavoidable act of nature, but because of preventable failures,' she said through tears. 'Cile remains somewhere in the devastation of the Guadalupe River. We remain trapped in agony until she is brought home.' Reforms proposed in legislation that the committee approved on a voice vote and that the Senate is expected to consider Thursday night 'must occur so this tragedy never happens again,' Williams Steward said. Separate legislation is being drafted to address warning systems and disaster response. All of the parents who testified and a handful of owners of other camps along the Guadalupe River said they support the disaster preparedness bill. The legislation has been dubbed the 'Heaven's 27 Camp Safety Act." 'Had the requirements of SB 1 been in place on July 4, I have no doubt that some lives, if not all lives, would have been saved,' said the committee's chairman, Charles Perry, a Republican. The legislation would apply to all campgrounds, and it would be more stringent for youth camps, the Senate said in a statement. Some of the measures the legislation calls for include a requirement that camps file comprehensive emergency plans for natural disasters and that cabins in flood plains have rooftop exits, as well as fire emergency plans, the statement said. The camps would also have to conduct evacuation drills with campers, and staff members would have to undergo annual training, the Senate said. The legislation would require emergency evacuations to higher ground when a flood warning is issued for an area. Camp Mystic said in a statement Wednesday that it could not comment on specific legislation because it was focused on recovery, but it "supports legislative efforts that will make camps and communities along the Guadalupe River safer." "The safety and well-being of every camper is our priority, and our policies and practices are designed to ensure a safe and supportive environment," it said. The parents, including some whose family members had attended Camp Mystic over generations, repeatedly criticized its operators while also saying they love the camp and want camps to continue, albeit with many more safety measures in place. 'Camp Mystic was completely unprepared for the flooding that cost my daughter her life," said Davin Hunt, father of Janie Hunt, 9, a relative of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt. "Since that day, our life has been a living nightmare.' Davin Hunt said his daughter's death left him with gut-wrenching dreams, when he can sleep, that sometimes depict a trip to the funeral home, where he prays, 'Lord and Savior, please kill me; take my life, not my daughter, Janie." A few parents expressed anger about having learned after their children's deaths that some of the Camp Mystic structures had been removed from 100-year flood maps, allowing for exemptions from some regulations. 'We feel guilty because we sent our girls to a camp we thought was safe,' said Doug Hanna, father of Hadley, who he said was 8 years, 4 months and 22 days old. 'Don't get me wrong, we love camp. ... We thought Camp Mystic was safe. We didn't know we were sending our daughters to sleep in cabins that were removed from the flood plain through an administrative process.' Speaking about the changes the bill proposes, Perry said such exemptions or carve-outs would no longer be allowed. 'No more waivers. Just, in a nutshell, don't ask for them,' he said. 'If you are a camp owner seeking a waiver, don't come to the state seeking waivers. You're not going to get them.' The parents repeatedly said that the testimony and any legislation approved would not relieve their grief but that they hoped it would help other parents. Brent Dillon, father of Lucy Dillon, 8, urged the lawmakers to ensure that when parents entrust their children to camps they are sending them to safe camps, where operators are prepared and emergency plans are sufficient, executable and enforceable. 'Today I sit before you a broken man. When Lucy left for camp, it was the very first time she had ever slipped away from us,' Dillon said. 'We entrusted her to the camp operators, and never for a moment did we believe she would return to us in a casket.'
