Part 5/7:
On the domestic front, President Trump took decisive action to address rising crime in Washington, D.C. declaring a crime emergency and federalizing the D.C. Police Department. The move also involved mobilizing the D.C. National Guard to reduce violent crime rates in the nation's capital.
Last night, a substantial law enforcement surge saw approximately 850 officers and federal agents deployed across the city. Their operations resulted in 23 arrests, targeting a variety of offenses including homicide, firearms violations, drug distribution, and other criminal activities. Police seized six illegal handguns and conducted a range of investigations into illegal activities like reckless driving, drunk driving, stalking, and probation violations.
