Trump deployed national guards in Washington DC and promised crime crackdown

President Donald Trump has deployed National Guard to Washington DC and promised to acknowledge the crime and unemployment of the country’s capital.

Trump announced the “Public Security Emergency situation” on Monday and deployed 800 National Guard Army which will strengthen hundreds of federal law enforcement officers officers deployed in the end of the week.

He said to reporters in the White House, “This is the situation of this whole and complete chaos.”

City Mayor Muriel Bauser has rejected the President’s claims for the crime and has fallen down according to statistics when there was a spike in 223. The violent crime in the city is also 30 -year low.

Trump said at a press conference, “I am announcing historical action to protect the capital of his country from crime, bloodshed, Bedalm and Squalor,” Trump said in a press conference in which US Attorney Turney General Palm Bondi led the city police force while under the control of the Federal.

He said, “This is a day of liberation in DC and we are going to take our capital back,” he said.

Trump said Washington DC was “detained by violent gangs and blood -bearing criminals” as well as “mad and homeless people drugs”.

According to the city’s metropolitan police department data, the homesides fell by 32 percent between 2023 to 2024 and reached their lowest level since 2019.

The data shows that 12 percent of the 12 percent this year has fallen.

City President Bosker confessed that Democrats confessed that in 223, there was a “terrible” increase in crime, which reflected national tendencies, but pushed back against any Crimeweave in the city.

She told MSNBC on Sunday, “We are not experiencing crime.” “The President is very aware of our efforts.”

When the Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller of the White House said that Washington was more violent than Baghdad, Bausar said, “Any comparison with the war -hitted country is hyperbolic and false”.

The active National Guard Army will be deployed between 1-5 and supporting the law enforcement at any time, the army said in a statement.

In addition to deploying, Trump said that using the Colombia Home Rules Act, they would keep the city’s police department directly under the federal control.

The Act was established by former President Richard Nixon to allow the residents of Washington DC – this is the only American city that is not in any of the states of 50 states – to select the City Council and Mayor.

But the “special conditions of emergency nature exist” allows the President to take over the city police force.

If the President considers controlling HOURS for more than 48 hours, he will have to give a written notice to the Congress. And even though they were provided the notice, they cannot control the police for more than 30 days.

Asked about the possibility of possibility of the city police department on Sunday, the mayor Bauser said: “There are specific things in our law that will allow (those).

She said she was “worried” about implementing local laws.

Bauser convened a press conference later on Monday in which she said that the president’s order was “unwilling and unprecedented”.

She said that Trump’s opinion about the city of the city was “shaped by his coed-view experience in his first tenure”, which she confessed that the “challenging time” for the district.

She said, “It is true that we experienced the post -Covid crime.”

She said, “We worked quickly to keep the laws of the violent criminals to keep the laws out of their streets.” “With those efforts we have seen a great deal of crime.”

Trump also spoke about the unemployment in Washington DC along with the crime.

“We’re getting rid of slums,” he said without any further information. He said that the homeless would be sent elsewhere but not where he was told.

Trump added that when the honorable and foreign leaders visit the city, “everything should be perfect”.

He said, “This is a very strong reflection of our country.” If our capital is dirty, our entire country is dirty and they do not respect us. “

Local local groups working with homeless people in the capital told the BBC that they had actually seen progress in recent years.

The homelessness for the persons in Washington DC in the Washington DC in the five -year -old compared to five years ago, said the president and chief executive Ralph Boyad said that a group of people in the city providing housing, clothing and other social services.

He said the proposal to move people out of the city was not a long -term settlement.

Boyad said, “It is to be transferred to the communities in other places that are less equipped than us,” said the Boyd.

Meanwhile, outside the White House, the agitators were gathering together about the actions of Trump, and “protect the Hands of DC” and “Domestic Rules”.

“He is worried that Trump does not care about the safety of DC,” said a speaker at the event.

The President’s actions follow the series of social media posts in recent days in which he has criticized the Washington DC. Trump has long complained about the city’s democratic leadership about handling his crime and homelessness.

He has also responded angrily to the former employee of the recently attacked government efficiency department (Dogo) in the city.

During a press conference on Monday, Trump said that the employees were “beaten by a band of roaming thugs” and “stuck in the blood”.

He also mentioned the Democracy MPs and other federal government employees and the under -selected officers.

Trump said, “This is a danger to the United States.

Trump has first deployed a National Guard in June, when he ordered the raids of 5,5 national guards at Los Angeles.

The capital riot was received in 2021 when the National Guard was deployed at Washington DC.
