Trump Moves to Evict Homeless from DC, Threatens Federal Control to Curb Crime

  • President Donald Trump announced a press conference on Monday at the White House to address violent crime in Washington, D.C.
  • The announcement follows rising concerns of violent crime and recent assaults, including an attempted carjacking of a government official last weekend.
  • The Trump administration intends to bolster the presence of federal police forces in the district, implementing a seven-day security lockdown and exploring the possibility of repealing the Home Rule Act of 1973 to assume greater authority over Washington D.C.
  • As of early 2025, violent crime in D.C. showed declines—homicides down 32%, robberies 39%, and carjackings 53% compared to 2023—while Trump labeled the city both highly dangerous and soon to be one of the safest.
  • The developments suggest a federal push to assert more authority over the capital, though full takeover would require congressional action and faces political and legal challenges.
