In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump announced a White House press conference scheduled for Monday to detail his anti-crime strategy. He claimed that D.C. has become \u201cone of the most dangerous\u201d cities globally, but promised that change is coming.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement came shortly after Trump ordered an increased presence of federal law enforcement in the District. According to the White House, the weeklong initiative\u2014potentially extendable\u2014includes support from multiple federal agencies such as the U.S. Capitol Police, DEA, U.S. Marshals, ATF, and Homeland Security Investigations. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the deployment is aimed at protecting \u201cinnocent citizens\u201d amid rising violent crime.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has repeatedly criticized crime in Washington and suggested the federal government may need to take over. As an example, he cited the recent violent mugging of a Department of Government Efficiency staffer, blaming the incident on youth gangs. Trump called for changes in D.C. law to allow 14-year-olds and older to be prosecuted as adults for serious offenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf D.C. doesn\u2019t get its act together, we will have no choice but to take Federal control,\u201d Trump said. Vice President J.D. Vance supported the idea, attributing the city\u2019s crime problems to \u201cmisguided local leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Trump established a task force to enforce quality-of-life laws and crack down on crime in public spaces. However, fully federalizing D.C. would require Congress to repeal the 1973 Home Rule Act\u2014a challenging prospect in the Democrat-controlled Senate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump vowed that Washington, D.C., will soon become \u201cone of the safest\u201d cities in the world, unveiling a new initiative to address violent crime in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
