President Donald Trump has vowed that DC will soon be \u201cone of the safest cities\u201d in America.<\/h3>\n

Trump has ordered federal law enforcement to patrol the nation\u2019s capital throughout the next week.<\/p>\n

In a post to Truth Social on Saturday, the president announced that a press conference would be held regarding the issue on Monday.<\/p>\n\n

Trump wrote:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOn Monday a Press Conference will be held at the White House which will, essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C. It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World. It will soon be one of the safest!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT<\/p>\n

The Hill reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The effort has been led by the U.S. Park Police and includes officers and agents from the FBI, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), divisions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies, according to the White House.<\/p>\n

Friday marked the second day of the patrol and Trump added officers from the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Marshals Service to the fray. Over 120 officers were assigned to high-traffic areas and will be highly visible and marked, a White House official said.<\/p>\n

On the first night, according to the official, arrests were made for possession of stolen firearms and illegal drugs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trump has previously discussed a federal takeover of the city, which has long been plagued by violent crime, though it would require congressional approval.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the District\u2019s homicide rate stood at 40.9 per 100,000 residents, ranking it fourth worst among major U.S. cities, and overall crime rates have been more than twice the national average in recent years.<\/p>\n

The Hill report adds, \u201cThe latest threats of a takeover come after a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official, known as \u2018Big Balls,\u2019 was attacked in the city by a group of teenagers. Two 15-year-olds were arrested in connection to the incident and charged for the attempted carjacking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThey are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it\u2019s going to happen now!\u201d Trump posted about the incident earlier this week, along with a photo of the bloodied victim. \u201cThe Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these \u2018minors\u2019 as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14.\u201d<\/p>\n
