President Trump Tackling DC Crime with Federal Law Enforcement Effort [Video]

CBN News Staff : Aug 11, 2025  CBN News

"DC is so geographically small and the crime is so out of control, there are basically no 'safe' neighborhoods. To put this in perspective, people exaggerate how dangerous NYC is, gets a lot of coverage, but it's still not great. The murder rate in DC, accounting for size, is TEN TIMES that of New York. Democrats are going to deny this because 'Orange Man Bad,' but DC is insanely violent and was even before this current spike." -Longtime conservative DC resident Inez Stepman via PJ Media

Trump said last week he was considering ways for the federal government to take control of Washington, and he may bring in the DC National Guard. "We have a capital that's very unsafe," Trump said at the White House. "We have to run DC."

Trump has suggested that the rule of Washington should be returned to federal authorities. Doing so would require a repeal of the Home Rule Act of 1973 in Congress.

"Washington, DC is an amazing city, but it has been plagued by violent crime for far too long," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a recent statement. "President Trump has directed an increased presence of federal law enforcement to protect innocent citizens."

For now, the president is planning to deploy federal law enforcement officers from the US Capitol Police, Homeland Security Investigations, the Federal Protective Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Enforcement and Removal Operations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the US Marshals Service and the US Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.

Mayor Muriel Bowser says violent crime is down to a 30-year low, but the president said the city is "unsafe" after the recent violent assault on a member of the Department of Government Efficiency. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
