called Democratic Representative Mary Gay Scanlon after she was carjacked.

'Let me first say that we're relieved that she was not injured,' Psaki replied. 'And the president called her and spoke with her this morning, as well.'
'It is absolutely unacceptable for any American, whether they're a member of Congress or not, to be victimized by crime like that,' she added.
Brown, from the president's home town of Wilmington, Delaware, is expected to face federal charges in Scanlon's carjacking, the Delaware State Police said Thursday.
Three of the other teen carjackers were boys ages 13 and 16 and a girl aged 14. They were all charged in Delaware with receiving stolen property and were each released to their guardians on $1,500 unsecured bond.
The fifth was a 15-year-old boy charged with receiving stolen property, resisting arrest and two counts of criminal mischief, according to police. He was taken to the New Castle County Detention Center on $3,500 bond.
Brown is a suspect in several other incidents over the last few years.
Most recently, an arrest warrant was issued for Brown in March 2021 after his fingerprints matched up with those connected to a string of vehicle break-ins in Chester County, Pennsylvania in late 2020.
FDR Park, where the crime occurred, is within City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson's district, who claims carjackings are happening at all times of day and that anyone is falling victim.
'Right now in the City of Philadelphia, people feel like there's a sense of lawlessness,' he said. 'At the end of the day, you see carjackings taking place during the holiday season. We see people being robbed of their Rolexes, so at the end of the day, we have to figure out how do we get ahold of this senseless violence.'
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said in a statement: 'It's disheartening, and quite frankly infuriating, that criminals feel emboldened to commit such a reckless crime in the middle of the day in what should be a place of tranquility and peace-one of Philadelphia's beautiful parks.'
Scanlan and Illinois State Senator Kimberly Lightfordand, both Democrats who supported police reforms in Philadelphia and reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown

respectively, were carjacked just 16 apart from each other.
