“Because of President Trump’s difficult policies, federal law operations have withdrawn nearly 2,000 dangerous criminals, fatal drugs and deadly weapons of the city, which is a victory for all DC residents and visitors.”

Trump federally federally the Metropolitan Police Department on August 11 in response to a series of murders and high -level attacks in the city after a wave of dangerous crime that washed the country, including DC, from 2020. Trump federalized the local police service under article 740 of the Columbia Home Rule Act district, which allows capital for 30 days.

The army secretary, Dan Driscoll, published on Wednesday a memo providing the presence of the National Guard specifically at DC until November 30. The memo said that the extension was “to continue to support the president’s continuous efforts to restore public order in the Columbia district,” said Fox News previously.

Trump has since floated in deployment of the national guard in other cities to help brake crime, including Chicago and Baltimore, who obtained a strong reprimand of local leaders who declared that repression was not necessary because the crime data show that violent trends have slowed down since the 2020 era and that Trump promotes authoritarianism.

“This is exactly the type of overcoming which the founders of our country have warned,” said Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker, in the media in August while slamming Trump’s suggestions on the deployment of the National Guard.
