Every day since President Donald Trump federalized law enforcement in Washington, D.C., social media has been flooded with videos and images of federal officers detaining delivery drivers — at times violently.
The crackdown prompted at least one city council member, Janeese Lewis George, to urge residents against ordering food delivery.
The companies that employ these drivers as contractors, however, are staying silent. DoorDash, Uber and Lyft haven’t issued statements about how Trump’s crackdown in the District has affected their contractors.
