US EditionHere’s What Could Happen if Trump Brings the National Guard to DC
WASHINGTON, D.C., AUG 7 – President Trump plans to federalize Washington, D.C. police and deploy the National Guard after a staffer linked to Elon Musk was assaulted, despite a 26% drop in violent crime this year.
- President Donald Trump announced plans this week to possibly bring the National Guard into Washington D.C. to help reduce crime and consider a federal takeover of the city’s police department.
- This move follows claims of increasing youth crime and calls from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for more accountability, despite data showing that violent crime in D.C. is down 26% this year.
- Experts note that the District is not clearly undergoing a public safety crisis and stress that federalizing law enforcement would require overturning the Home Rule Act, which needs a vote by Congress.
- Jeanine Pirro stated, "More needs to be done to reduce youth crime," while William Banks explained that the D.C. National Guard reports only to the president, easing potential law enforcement roles without a governor's request.
- The escalation raises concerns about militarizing domestic policing, with observers warning it could normalize military involvement in U.S. cities, echoing fears of authoritarian control.
