Trump is promising new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump announced plans to address homelessness and crime in Washington, D.C., proposing to deploy about 500 federal law enforcement officers—including FBI, ATF, DEA, ICE, and Marshals—to patrol the city. He vowed to “liberate” the capital and remove homeless people “immediately,” relocating them away from the city, while promising to incarcerate criminals. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser expressed skepticism about using the National Guard and urged federal support through prosecutors and judges instead. Despite Trump’s claims of a crime surge, D.C. officials report a 26% decrease in violent crime this year. Any federal takeover would require repealing the Home Rule Act, likely facing strong opposition.
