WASHINGTON, D.C. — August 11, 2025 — U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a major law-and-order push in the nation’s capital, ordering hundreds of D.C. National Guard troops onto city streets and placing the Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control.
The decision comes even as official data shows violent crime in Washington is at its lowest level in 30 years, with a 26% drop so far in 2025 compared to last year.
Speaking from the White House press briefing room, Trump described the city as “crime-infested” and vowed to take back the capital from “bloodthirsty criminals” and “drugged-out maniacs.” The president framed the move as “Liberation Day in D.C.,” promising aggressive policing and rapid clean-up operations.
Details of the Federal Takeover
National Guard Deployment: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed 800 guardsmen will arrive this week, with more possible.
Police Federalization: Local officers will now report to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, one of Trump’s closest allies.
Potential Military Involvement: Trump says he is prepared to send in active-duty U.S. military if needed.
Under the federal D.C. Home Rule Act, the president can override the city’s elected officials — a power unique to the nation’s capital.
Crime Data Paints a Different Picture
According to D.C. police, violent crime — including robbery, sexual assault, and assault with a dangerous weapon — has dropped significantly in 2025. Last year, overall violent crime reached its lowest point since the mid-1990s after targeted crackdowns on criminal gangs.
Mayor Muriel Bowser called Trump’s move “unsettling and unprecedented,” noting that tourism and business activity are already rebounding. “We are not experiencing a crime spike — we are at a 30-year low,” she said.
Mixed Reaction Across the City
Support from Police Union: The D.C. Police Union welcomed Trump’s plan, saying officers are “stretched beyond their limits.”
Local Opposition: Activists gathered in Lafayette Square to protest, calling the move an attack on home rule and democracy.
Political Pushback: Sen. Tim Kaine labeled the takeover a “waste of taxpayer dollars” meant to distract from other issues.
Trump’s Broader Plan for D.C.
The president says his intervention will include a “beautification campaign” — clearing homeless encampments, repaving streets, repairing infrastructure, and adding new venues such as a White House ballroom.
Critics, including political scholars, warn that using military forces for civilian policing is a red flag for democratic norms. Harvard professor Justin de Benedictis-Kessner called it “one of the first steps we see towards autocracy in other countries.”
Despite the sharp decline in crime, Trump insists Washington is “anything but safe” and vows to be “rougher and tougher” than the criminals he seeks to remove.
