Pine Tree Activism supports the work of @portcruisecontrol.bsky.social in helping the public understand the impacts.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"
