Part 2/12:
President Trump announced a significant move to restore order in Washington DC by deploying approximately 800 National Guard troops. His administration frames it as an unprecedented effort to combat rising crime and homelessness plaguing the city. Trump proclaimed this action as “liberation day,” emphasizing his intention to "rescue our nation's capital" from what he describes as "bloodshed, squalor, and worse."
During a recent speech, Trump declared, "Crime in DC is ending and ending today. We are going to use every power we have to fight criminals here," signaling a hardline approach. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi echoed this sentiment, asserting the administration’s commitment to using all available resources to restore safety and order in the city.
