Residents in a Washington DC neighbourhood with one of the city's largest Latino populations say they have seen a surge in immigration raids since the Trump administration launched its crime crackdown. People are walking around scared, one resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, said. I've never seen the streets so empty. Videos posted on social media in the last week show arrests and raids - along with protests by locals - in the Columbia Heights area. More than 1,000 arrests have been made across the US capital since the crackdown started on 11 August - nearly half were of suspected illegal immigrants, according to the White House. BBC Verify has reviewed more than a dozen videos filmed in Columbia Heights and spoken to people who live there to assess the impact on the neighbourhood. One video of two men being seized by law enforcement officers was posted on Instagram by a local journalist on Thursday morning. In the footage, a number on a distinctive building can be seen. We used this to pinpoint the location to a road in Columbia Heights - about two miles north of the White House. A woman who witnessed the incident said she recorded several videos, including one she live-streamed on Facebook at 07:39 that morning, showing two men in a red car, surrounded by a group of nine officers - some with 'police federal officer' on their vests, some wearing masks. The officers smashed the car windows and detained the men. Community response has been strong, with chants of ICE go home heard during the raids.
