💨 Abstract

In August 2025, President Trump announced plans to address homelessness and crime in Washington, DC, promising a news conference at 10 a.m. Days earlier, he directed increased federal law enforcement presence in the city and suggested potential federal control. Trump's comments included moving the homeless away from the capital and emphasizing the imprisonment of criminals. The move raised concerns from the city's mayor about potential National Guard patrols.
