43:44Now PlayingPresident Trump has placed D.C. police under federal control and has deployed National Guard troops. He's declared a public safety emergency, comparing D.C. to global crime hotspots.
"This is liberation day in D.C. and we’re going to take our Capitol back," Trump said.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser says crime data doesn’t justify federal intervention.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser questioned the effectiveness of using the Guard to enforce city laws. She said federal support would be better directed toward filling judicial vacancies or funding more prosecutors.
Bowser pointed to a steady decline in violent crime since a spike in 2023. City data shows violent crime is down 26% compared to this time last year, following a 35% drop in 2024 from the previous year.
Trump also said his administration has begun clearing homeless encampments from city parks.
