US EditionTrump orders increased federal law enforcement presence in Washington to ‘make DC safe again’
WASHINGTON, D.C., AUG 9 – Federal agencies including the FBI and U.S. Park Police will patrol high-traffic tourist areas for at least seven days following an assault on a government official, despite crime rates falling.
- President Donald Trump directed federal authorities to bolster their operations in the District of Columbia this week in an effort to enhance public safety.
- The order is a continuation of Trump’s executive directive aimed at improving safety and appearance in the District of Columbia, and responds in part to a recent assault on a former Department of Government Efficiency employee.
- Federal agencies including ICE, FBI, National Guard, and Homeland Security will deploy officers in marked units, supported by the U.S. Park Police leading a seven-day enforcement push starting at midnight.
- Trump stated, "we should run it strong, run it with law and order," and warned he might take full federal control of D.C. if local officials fail to reduce crime.
- The increased enforcement aims to reduce violent and petty crime, with possible National Guard deployment and consideration of repealing the Home Rule Act to enable full federal oversight.
