In a fiery Oval Office moment, President Donald Trump announced he is “considering” federalizing the D.C.
Police force amid what he called an “out-of-control” crime wave in the nation’s capital.
Citing a recent brutal assault on a young man, Trump blasted the city’s rising crime, unsafe streets, graffiti, and decaying infrastructure.
The president suggested the National Guard may be brought in to stabilize the situation, declaring that “we’re going to do something about it.” He emphasized his vision of a “safe and beautiful capital” and criticized city leadership for neglect and lawlessness.
Trump also vowed to improve the capital’s appearance, from rundown medians to littered streets.
While details remain unclear, his remarks have sparked major political debate over federal authority in D.C., especially regarding local law enforcement.
The possibility of direct federal intervention has stunned city officials and reignited national discussion over crime, policing, and urban safety.
