FBI Director Kash Patel backs Trump's DC police takeover
FBI Director Kash Patel backs Trump’s federal takeover of D.C. police despite falling crime, citing a cooperative task force model that arrested 545 violent felons in Virginia in one month.
- On Monday, Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department and activated roughly 800 National Guard troops to restore law, order and public security.
- Under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, the MPD can be federalized for up to 30 days, with Attorney General Pam Bondi overseeing the process.
- In his statement, Patel urged to `let good cops be cops` by cutting red tape and streamlining prosecutions, emphasizing cooperation to control crime.
- In night one of the federal takeover, the FBI arrested suspects on murder and weapons charges, with federal partners joining local police to detain 23 individuals.
- Meanwhile, President Donald Trump recently suggested that federal support could extend to Chicago and New York, though Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson argued anti-violence programs are more effective.
