Along with invoking the D.C. Home Rule Act to place the Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, Trump announced he’s deploying the National Guard to the streets.
“In addition, I’m deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order and public safety in Washington, D.C., and they’re going to be allowed to do their job properly.”
Then came the jaw-dropping stats on D.C. crime:
“Now, the murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogota, Colombia, Mexico City—some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth, much higher. This is much higher.”
“The number of car thefts has doubled over the past five years, and the number of carjackings has more than tripled.”
“Murders in 2023 reached the highest rate, probably ever. They say 25 years, but they don’t know what that means because it just goes back 25 years, can’t be worse.”
“Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people.”
“And we’re not going to let it happen anymore. We’re not going to take it.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also laid down the law on America’s crime-ridden cities….and sent a message to the National Guard in DC: “Be TOUGH, be STRONG. We’re right behind you.”

Speaking on President Trump’s crackdown in the nation’s capital, Hegseth made it clear the mission is already underway.
“Well, Mr. President, it’s an honor to be here, and at your direction this morning, we mobilized the DC National Guard.”
“You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week.”
“At your direction as well, sir, there are other units we are prepared to bring in. Other National Guard units, other specialized units. They will be strong, they will be tough, and they will stand with their law enforcement partners.”
“This is nothing new for DoD. As the president noted at the border, we’ve got 10,000 troops down there who have been operating in defense cooperation areas, defense zones where there’s ZERO, zero illegal crossings because of troops on strykers scanning the border.”
“We’ve been protecting other people’s borders for 20 years. It’s about time we protect our own, and we’re working with ICE and CBP.”
“We will work alongside all DC police and federal law enforcement to ensure this city is safe, this city is beautiful.”
“As I always say about President Trump to the troops, he has their back.”
“And my message to the National Guard and federal law enforcement in Washington is: We have your back as well.”
“Be tough, be strong. We’re right behind you.”
