Speaker Johnson says Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize for DC police takeover
Speaker Mike Johnson cited a 25% drop in violent crime and a 12-day homicide-free streak in Washington, D.C. after federal law enforcement deployment under President Trump.
- On Monday, August 11, President Donald Trump placed the Washington D.C. police under federal authority as part of a new initiative to reduce crime in the city.
- This action followed rising crime rates despite 101 homicides reported so far this year and aimed to reduce violence by deploying National Guard and federal officers.
- From August 14 to August 24, Washington D.C. reported zero homicides for 11 straight days, while the D.C. Police Union noted decreases of 25% in violent crime, 10% in property crime, and 11% in overall crime rates.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson publicly expressed support for awarding Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, highlighting on X that a notable factor is Washington, D.C.’s 11 consecutive days without any murders, though he stopped short of officially submitting a nomination.
- The federalization order is set to expire mid-September, and the crime decline during Trump’s crackdown suggests temporary improvements while the White House celebrates the no-murder streak.
