WASHINGTON, D.C., AUG 8 – Federal law enforcement agencies will patrol Washington, D.C. for seven days to address violent youth crime, with 56% of carjacking arrests involving minors since 2023, officials said.
- Beginning at midnight on Thursday, August 8, 2025, President Donald Trump initiated the deployment of extra federal officers to patrol the streets of Washington, DC.
- This action follows a dramatic spike in violent crime in 2023 and rising juvenile incidents, prompting concerns that local efforts alone are insufficient.
- The seven-day operation involves at least 16 federal agencies led by the U.S. Park Police to patrol known hotspots and tourist areas visibly in marked units.
- Trump called the level of crime "ridiculous" and cautioned that if Washington, D.C. does not address the situation promptly, the federal government may need to intervene directly to manage the city.
- The effort aims to improve public safety amid a 26% drop in violent crime overall, though juvenile-related incidents rose 10%, and discussions of federalization continue amid mixed local reactions.
