23:51Now PlayingAll eyes were on the nation's capital this week as President Donald Trump announced a takeover of the police force in Washington, D.C. The National Guard and other federal agents were deployed into the city, making arrests and plan to clear homeless encampments. On this episode of PBS News Weekly, we take a closer look at the legal but rare presidential authority behind the move, how the administration's narrative of rising crime compares to data that shows the opposite, and community-based intervention programs in major cities that are now at risk of federal cuts.
