Trump threatens full 'Federal takeover' in DC, accuses mayor of peddling 'inaccurate crime figures'
President Trump praised the federal takeover of Washington D.C.'s police and deployment of nearly 2,000 National Guard troops, highlighting a significant drop in crime and a surge in immigration arrests.
- Earlier this month, President Donald Trump ordered a federal takeover of Washington, D.C.'s police department and mobilized more than 1,900 National Guard troops from multiple states by Thursday.
- The administration framed the operation as both a crime and immigration effort, linking the surge to beautification ahead of next year's 250th Independence Day celebration and noting 300 migrant arrests since August 7.
- Officials noted the deployments operate under Title 32, allowing broader roles beyond Posse Comitatus limits; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved armed guardsmen and switched ICE support to Title 32 in July, while the Virginia National Guard said personnel won't enforce laws or make arrests.
- Federal officials' actions have resulted in approximately 300 migrant arrests since Aug. 7, a Washington Post-Schar School poll shows 79% opposition, and Trump's authority faces a 30-day limit requiring Congress approval.
- In the coming weeks, up to 1,700 National Guardsmen will mobilize across 19 states, with Virginia National Guard training 60 soldiers starting August 25th for early September duty.
