DC passed a law to fast-track evictions for tenants who commit a violent or dangerous crime in their building. Now, that law is being challenged in a case where a tenant pled guilty to attempted assault with a dangerous weapon — after assaulting a leasing office employee in their building while armed with a knife. We are fighting in court to defend this common-sense provision. Incidents like this are rare, but they require prompt action to keep tenants, building staff, and nearby neighbors safe. This is also critical for ensuring that DC can continue to create and preserve the affordable housing our residents need.

Today, we returned to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to argue against the illegal National Guard deployment in DC. We are staying in this fight because the US military should not be policing American citizens anywhere in America — and that includes DC. The continued presence of thousands of armed National Guard troops in the District infringes on our fundamental rights and our local autonomy. It also sets an incredibly dangerous precedent for our country that we cannot afford to leave unchallenged. It is long past time for this illegal deployment to end.
