The Mexican consulate in Washington, D.C., is urging Mexican nationals living around the American capital to take 'precautions' due to the city's surging crime rates.
D.C. crime activist Ronald Moten joined Fox & Friends First to discuss his concern surrounding the growing surge in violence and what is to blame for the spike.
"Attention Mexican community: The city of Washington, D.C. is experiencing a significant increase in crime in areas previously considered safe. Take precautions. In an emergency, call 911. For urgent consular assistance, dial 997-0560," read the translation of a tweet posted by Mexico's Washington, D.C., consulate last week.
Mayor Muriel Bowser talks during a press conference to address the recent uprise in violent crime in Washington, D.C. Pamela A. Smith, who was chosen to be the next chief of the Metropolitan Police Department earlier this month, acknowledged the crime problem the city has faced."Washington, D.C. is an amazing city. It's filled with amazing residents, visitors, businesses and opportunities. And I am proud to live as a resident in Ward 8. As a law enforcement officer and a member of this community, I am also troubled by the crime that is plaguing our community.
