Georgetown U. Democrats Angry About Presence of Federal Forces in D.C.
“Patrolling university campuses is a waste of federal time and resources, and nothing more than a fear tactic being used by the Trump administration”
So the College Democrats at Georgetown are just like the rest of the Democrats in DC. Big surprise.
The College Fix reports:
Georgetown U. Democrats, student gov. upset about feds in DC: ‘concerning,’ ‘dangerous’
The Georgetown University Student Association and College Democrats aren’t happy that federal agents “appeared to be present” on campus last week.
According to the student paper The Hoya, the presence of the feds appeared confirmed by photos “obtained and reviewed” by the paper, as well as a statement by the student government.
Trump’s “police federalization” and deployment of the National Guard in the nation’s capital began August 11. It includes roughly 850 federal officials to work with local law enforcement.
Georgetown U. College Democrats Co-President Dhruv Shah said he and six Georgetown students saw agents on campus early last Wednesday evening.
“I did not see them interacting with any community members but their presence on campus coupled with silence from the university thus far on the militarization of D.C. by the Trump administration is very concerning,” Shah, who is “very passionate about progressive politics,” told the Hoya.
Likewise, Georgetown U. Student Association President Ethan Henshaw (pictured), the former chair of the Georgetown College Democrats who defended a student government vote on divestment from Israel during Passover this year, said it was “dangerous” that agents were on campus.
“Patrolling university campuses is a waste of federal time and resources, and nothing more than a fear tactic being used by the Trump administration against students and residents of D.C.,” Henshaw said.
Henshaw added the student government will be working “to figure out how to best educate students and protect them from any possible encounters this fall.”

I too would be pissed off if my ability to “earn” a living was being taken away
Tough shit sherlock. Don’t like it? Go back to your hell hole of a country. I;m sure you never see the military there,
It’s nice to see that Democrat leaders still haven’t learned that their penchant for hysterics does not help them.
“nothing more than a fear tactic being used by the Trump administration”
What are you afraid of, Muhammad?
That’s okay. It’s a free country, they’re entitled to be angry if they want to. But no one has to care.
Right. Like they suddenly care about government waste. Next they’ll be joining the YAF and demonstrating for a balanced budget.
These so called adults making statements like that show how immature their thinking is. And if they are either employed by the college or part of the student government, then that shows how little a degree from that institution is . A two year old whines when they don’t get their way.
