Trump Declares Public Safety Emergency in Washington D.C.

President Trump has taken direct federal control of Washington D.C.’s police and ordered the National Guard into the streets, citing skyrocketing crime, rampant carjackings, and a growing homeless crisis. Calling it “Liberation Day in D.C.,” Trump vowed swift action — from removing homeless encampments to cracking down on gangs and drug dealers — while promising to restore the city’s safety, beauty, and order.
