The nation’s capital waits for Trump’s next move as a federal takeover threat looms
Federal law enforcement actions follow a 2023 crime spike and include a seven-day security lockdown with arrests for firearms and drug possession, White House officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced a federal security effort in the District, amid ongoing enforcement actions, with no schedule for a lockdown.
- Amid rising crime figures, Trump warned on Truth Social that if D.C. “doesn’t get its act together,” he would take federal control, and homeless people must move “far” away.
- According to Metro Transit Police, two people were taken into custody and two firearms recovered during Sunday just after midnight, as at least 30 federal officers were in the neighborhood, the Deanwood community reports.

- Ahead of any federal takeover, Fox News contributor Ted Williams called it troubling, and ANC Commissioner Anthony Lorenzo Green criticized overreach and urged respect for home rule.
