Teens involved in attack on ex-DOGE staffer sentenced to probation
The assault on a 19-year-old former DOGE employee led to probation sentences for the two 15-year-old assailants and triggered a federal law enforcement surge in the capital.

- Officers on scene quickly apprehended two suspects as an MPD cruiser arrived, prompting others to flee while the 15-year-old boy pleaded guilty to felony assault, robbery and simple assault and the 15-year-old girl pleaded guilty to simple assault.
- A 15-year-old boy received 12 months' probation and the 15-year-old girl nine months, though both had faced custody until age 21 under D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services.
- The attack occurred around the time when President Donald Trump ordered a federal surge in Washington, D.C., shortly after Edward Coristine, a former DOGE employee, was injured on August 4.
