Do people get violently attacked and robbed of their dogs in other Capital cities? Or is this just a DC thing? Maybe @TheJusticeDept @POTUS @WHCOS can ask the @USAO_DC to start putting DC residents above criminals? The status quo is unacceptable.

Imagine hearing this after having a gun stuck to your head and your car carjacked with your child still inside. Or after a family member was murdered. We already know that some juveniles are abusing the leniency of the Second Look Act. Is there any accountability in this city?

There is a really harmful provision in Secure DC to make theft of any item worth more than $500 a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. This would be extreme and completely ineffective at addressing the issue. Tomorrow I will move an amendment to block it. Here is why:

What's driving D.C.'s carjacking numbers? An expert says it's often a crime of opportunity for teens: "A lot of the reason that these kids are carjacking these vehicles are really mundane."
