12:20Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump announced Monday that he is placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and deploying the National Guard to the city, saying the move is aimed at restoring order in the nation’s capital.
“I’m officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control,” Trump said during a White House news conference.
The president told a crowd of reporters that his actions come as “something’s out of control, but we’re going to put it in control very quickly, like we did on the southern border.”
Trump also announced the deployment of National Guard troops to assist local law enforcement.
“I’m deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order and public safety in Washington, DC, and they’re going to be allowed to do their job properly,” Trump added.
