đź’¨ Abstract

The Trump administration plans to bolster federal law enforcement in Washington, DC, on Thursday and Friday, following a recent assault. The move, endorsed by a May 2025 executive order, aims to enhance public safety by strictly enforcing various laws. While the Trump administration claims increased crime, DC Police data shows a 26% decrease in violent crime for 2025. President Trump has also suggested considering a federal takeover of the DC Police Department and deploying the National Guard.
