National Guard arrives on streets of Washington DC despite 'historic' lows in crime
Wednesday, 13 August 2025 () National Guard troops have begun arriving on the streets of Washington DC in a controversial move by Donald Trump to "rescue our nation's capital from crime".
National Guard troops rolled into Washington, D.C., Tuesday evening as President Trump’s aggressive anti-crime initiative officially kicked off. Armored personnel carriers were spotted near the Washington Monument, with federal forces gathering at key sites across the city. The deployment follows...
President Donald Trump has invoked the Home Rule Act to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, deploying 800 National Guard troops and placing operations under Attorney General Pam Bondi. Federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and Border Patrol are embedded in local policing, despite crime rates being at a 30-year low. Experts say this unprecedented move applies only to D.C., though Trump’s broader agenda includes expanding federal support for law enforcement, rolling back accountability measures, and dismantling diversity programs nationwide.

“Liberation Day” in Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency and taken direct federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police. Flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and FBI Director Kash Patel, Trump announced the deployment of the National Guard to restore order in the capital, which he compared to Baghdad and Mexico City.
Citing “phony crime numbers,” Trump said D.C. is spiraling into chaos — and he’s not stopping there. Cities like Chicago and Los Angeles are next on his list as he vows to expand the federal crackdown.
Is this a bold move to save American cities — or an unprecedented power grab? Watch and decide.
