Homan Says Trump Has ‘No Limitation’ in Power to Make Country Safe
Federal agencies and the National Guard are enforcing crime and homelessness reductions, with violent crime down 26% this year, according to local officials and law enforcement.
In 2025, President Trump placed Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department under federal control to tackle rising crime in the nation's capital.
This action followed reports of unsafe conditions in D.C., including statements that it is not safe to walk the streets at night, despite claims crime is down.
Trump announced plans to reform crime legislation in Washington and other major cities, aiming for the capital to set an example of safety comparable to his border initiatives.
Violent crime in D.C. fell 26% compared to last year, and crime is at its lowest this century, though critics call the federalization an unjustified power grab.
The federal takeover and proposed crime law reforms signal an attempt to improve safety amid political disagreement about crime severity and control.
