President Trump is finally cleaning up the mess in our nation’s capital. Over 550 dangerous criminals have been arrested since his crime crackdown began on August 7th. This is what real leadership looks like.
The arrests include gang members and an MS-13 terrorist who was prowling our streets. Federal agents seized illegal guns and removed deadly drugs from Washington neighborhoods. While liberals complained, Trump got results.
DC had become a war zone under weak leadership. The city recorded a shocking murder rate of 27.54 per 100,000 people in 2024. Car thefts hit 842.4 per 100,000 residents, over three times the national average.
Trump declared a crime emergency and took control of DC police for federal purposes. He refuses to let violent gangs and criminals terrorize Americans in our capital city. This is exactly what voters demanded when they elected him.
In just one Tuesday evening sweep, officers made 91 arrests. Twenty-five of those arrested were illegal aliens with criminal records. Many had committed burglary, drug possession, and other serious crimes before being caught again.
Liberal media outlets are attacking Trump’s success because it exposes their lies. They claimed DC was safe while gangs ruled the streets. Now the truth is obvious to everyone with eyes to see.
Federal workers and tourists deserve to feel safe in America’s capital. Trump promised to make DC one of the safest cities in the world instead of one of the most dangerous. He is keeping that promise.
The fake news media hates seeing Trump succeed where they said he would fail. But hardworking Americans know the truth when they see it. Our president is making America safe again, one arrest at a time.
