“from a checkpoint on M St SW in Friday about 6:30pm. There were about 30 federal agents and a few MPD. They were stopping all cars and checking IDs and taking down license plate numbers. It was a high traffic time because there was a baseball game and a soccer game happening tonight.”
“Dear PoPville,
Please remind readers to tip our food delivery workers like Rockefellers! Many are risking their freedom and safety right now, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Last night around 10:30 PM a vehicle was reportedly speeding while chased by federal law enforcement, hit a speed bump and flipped over on Webster St NW between 2nd St NW and Rock Creek Church Rd NW. We could hear a lot of helicopters overhead and saw a lot of non MPD on the scene so I grabbed my dog and went to get a closer look. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Dozens of people came out on barely an hour’s notice and there was music and we were all passing information and encouragement and plans on how to support the community and each other. (While cop cars did slow circles around the plaza and eventually parked right next us.)
Next, we’ll aim for an art session in front of Bancroft and Sacred Heart schools. I can’t imagine how scared and scarred so many kids are right now.”
Chelsea also shares with us: “ICE terrorized my neighborhood of Mt Pleasant today so we reclaimed the plaza — our community living room — with joy and love and messages of resilience. Thank you to everyone who turned out, let’s do it again!! These few photos do not do it justice” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m just dropping a note to mention that I watched the vehicle (silver Mercedes) in the attached picture traveling at high speed west down the 1300 block of E Street NE yesterday (Friday) just after 5:00pm. He hit a number of cars on our block, and continued down E Street hitting parked cars in the 1200, 1100, and 1000 block until hit a dead-end at 10th Street NE. There I caught up with him and another neighbor while we called the cops. We tried to get him to turn off the car but after about 10 minutes he jumped the curb and crossed the sidewalk to Maryland Avenue, hitting more cars and taking out street sign along the way. (more…)
