A D.C. judge denied requests for less restrictive detention for two teens who were allegedly involved in an attack and attempted carjacking of a former DOGE staffer, on Monday ordering the youths to remain at the city’s juvenile detention center.

The hearing took place hours after President Donald Trump said he planned to take over the city’s police force and deploy the National Guard on D.C. streets as part of a crusade against crime in the nation’s capital — a decision ignited in part by the Aug. 3 attack. The victim, Edward Coristine, a software engineer who began work in the federal government as a protégé of Elon Musk, was injured in the attempted carjacking.
