Around 2 a.m., noisy revelers emerging from clubs and bars packed the sidewalks of U Street in Washington, many of them seeking a late-night slice or falafel. In short, that law enforcement surge to take control of the District of Columbia's streets did not appear to unfold on schedule.

After an alleged attack on an ex-DOGE staffer, Trump said he might put D.C. under federal control if it doesn't "get its act together, and quickly."

President Donald Trump said he will lay out his administration’s plan to reduce crime in the nation’s capital, even as violent incidents in the District of Columbia are at a 30-year low.

The seven-day operation, which could extend beyond a week, is aimed at boosting public safety, according to a White House official.

President Donald Trump has ordered an increased federal law enforcement presence in Washington, D.C., to protect residents and visitors from a surge in violent crime.

As federal law enforcement has increased its presence on the streets of Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump has announced that a press conference will take place next week to address violent crime in the city.

The president claimed Washington, D.C., had become “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” despite federal data indicating crime fell to historic lows.
