US EditionTrump Increasing Federal Law Enforcement in DC
WASHINGTON, D.C., AUG 8 – Federal agencies including U.S. Park Police and FBI are increasing patrols in tourist areas to enhance safety in a 7-day operation that may be extended, officials said.
- On Thursday, the White House announced increased federal law enforcement in Washington, D.C., beginning at midnight for a 7-day effort targeting hot spots and tourist areas.
- President Donald Trump warned earlier this year that the federal government should `take over` D.C. if crime continued, threatening a federal takeover.
- U.S. Park Police will lead the effort, with officials from the U.S. Capitol Police, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, all operating in marked units and highly visible.
- A White House spokeswoman said there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals during the 7-day effort, even though the National Guard was not listed among participating forces.
- Legal experts note that repealing the Home Rule Act of 1973 is required for a federal takeover, which Trump’s March executive order `Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful` directs a task force to enforce.
