💨 Abstract

The Trump administration will increase federal law enforcement presence on D.C. streets starting Thursday. This decision follows a recent attack on a former official. The increased patrols, led by the U.S. Park Police and including agencies like the FBI and Capitol Police, will focus on high-traffic tourist areas. Despite claims of rising crime, Washington D.C. has seen a 26% decrease in violent crime so far this year.
