President Donald Trump announced he would take federal control of Washington DC’s police department and deploy 800 National Guard troops there, escalating his push to exert power over the nation’s capital.
Trump on Monday also threatened to insert federal personnel into other cities, including New York and Chicago, if they did not crack down on what he called “out of control” crime.
During a White House news conference, Trump painted a nightmarish picture of a Washington that’s been “overtaken” by “bloodthirsty criminals” and “roving mobs of wild youth” that was at direct odds with statistics showing plummeting crime rates. Violent crimes in the capital reached a 30-year low in 2024, the Justice Department announced weeks before Trump took office in January.
