On August 29, 2025, heavily armed agents from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, ATF, the Secret Service and D.C. police swarmed a football game at Coolidge High School in Washington, D.C., reportedly to address skirmishes in the stands. Both teams came from high schools whose student bodies are more than 96 percent Black and Brown. Interviewees told Amnesty International that the heavy federal presence during the takeover created an environment of fear for young people in racialized communities regardless of immigration status.
