President Trump is finally taking control of Washington DC’s crime crisis. The President has federalized the DC police force and the results are already showing. US Marshal Service Director Gady Serralta appeared on Fox News to discuss these bold moves.
For too long, DC residents and tourists have lived in fear. The nation’s capital became a symbol of failure under liberal leadership. Criminals ran wild while politicians made excuses and refused to act.
The numbers tell the real story about DC’s crime problem. In 2024, Washington DC had a homicide rate of 27.3 per 100,000 residents. That rate was nearly six times higher than New York City and would be the highest of any state in America.
President Trump refused to let this continue on his watch. He took decisive action by bringing in federal law enforcement to restore order. The Marshal Service is now working alongside local police to arrest criminals and clean up our streets.
Early reports show the crackdown is working. Federal agents are making arrests across the city and targeting repeat offenders. Gang members and career criminals are finally facing real consequences for their actions.
This is what real leadership looks like. While Democrats talked about police reform, Trump focused on public safety. He put the safety of law-abiding citizens first instead of coddling criminals.
The liberal media will try to attack these efforts. They always defend criminals over victims and chaos over order. But Americans can see the difference strong leadership makes in keeping communities safe.
President Trump promised to restore law and order to America. His federalization of DC police proves he keeps his promises. Every American deserves to feel safe in their own capital city.
