💨 Abstract
In August 2025, President Donald Trump federalized the Washington, DC police and activated National Guard troops, citing crime and homelessness concerns despite official statistics showing declining crime rates. This move escalated tensions with local officials, who were caught off guard and deemed the takeover "unsettling and unprecedented." Trump plans to control the police for up to 30 days, focusing on federal assets and officer protection.
