The incident occurred just hours after Dhillon spoke with The Gateway Pundit’s White House Correspondent Jordan Conradson near the White House, where they were harassed by a homeless vagrant demanding Dhillon’s water bottle. Shortly after, as she walked back to the DOJ, another deranged individual lunged for her phone.
“A malodorous homeless person attempted to swipe my phone today while I was walking in DC back to the DOJ from an appointment — but he was not in his right mind and I artfully dodged the attempt,” Dhillon revealed. “It’ll be a while till things feel safe in this city, so everyone stay alert!”
Her warning comes as President Trump takes decisive action to restore order in the nation’s capital, invoking Section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act to place the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and deploying the National Guard to combat the surging violence.
Trump’s Bold Move: National Guard Deployed as DC Descends into Anarchy
While left-wing activists and their media allies downplay the crisis, President Trump is doing what weak Democrats refuse to—enforcing the law. On Monday, he signed executive actions federalizing DC police and authorizing National Guard troops to clean up the streets.
“We will bring in the military if it’s needed,” Trump declared, proving once again that he is the only leader willing to take drastic measures to protect citizens.
This crackdown follows the horrific beating of Edward Coristine, a DOGE worker known as “Big Balls,” who was brutally attacked by a mob of criminals—yet another example of the unchecked violence plaguing Democrat-controlled cities.

Media Blackout: Liberals Ignore Crime Wave as Trump Acts
The same outlets that spent years fearmongering about “mostly peaceful protests” now turn a blind eye to the rampant assaults, robberies, and open drug use destroying DC. But President Trump isn’t waiting for CNN to acknowledge the crisis—he’s taking charge.
With the National Guard mobilized and federal law enforcement stepping in, Trump is delivering the safety that failed Democrat leadership has refused to provide.
