#Trump Declares Public Safety Emergency in Washington, D.C.
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency in the nation’s capital, announcing plans for federal intervention if necessary.
According to Foresight News, Trump stated that the Washington, D.C., police department will be placed under federal oversight and confirmed the deployment of the National Guard to address what he described as a surge in violent crime.
He said
“I am deploying the National Guard to help restore law, order, and public safety in Washington, D.C.,”
Trump said, adding that the city has been “overtaken by violent gangs and dangerous criminals.”
The decision marks a significant use of executive authority in matters typically handled by local governments, with Trump specifically focusing on Democrat-led cities.
He rejected claims that the move was a political tactic or an effort to expand presidential powers, insisting the measure is necessary to protect both residents and federal operations.
Trump acknowledged that other U.S. cities face similar challenges but said Washington, D.C., will be the starting point for his broader public safety strategy
