“This is Liberation Day in D.C.” At his press conference Monday morning, Donald Trump announced not only that he was deploying the National Guard to address rampant crime in our nation’s capital, but that he has taken control of the city police force. And that’s just the beginning.
Anyone who has been to Washington, D.C. in recent years knows that crime and the homeless encampments are completely out of control. No more, said Trump, who plans to bring down crime, clear out homeless camps, reform “the slums,” beautify the city, and stop allowing D.C. Democrats to have higher crime rates than the cities in many third-world countries infamous for corruption and violence. To that end, Trump has declared a public safety emergency and put Attorney General Pam Bondi in charge of the D.C. police.
Trump began, “Something’s out of control, but we’re going to put it in control very quickly, like we did on the southern border. I’m announcing a historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor — and worse.” He added, “We’re taking [D.C.] back under the authorities vested in me as the President of the United States. I’m officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule act. You know what that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you’ll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that.” He’s also deploying the National Guard via Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
