In the midst of President Donald Trump’s criminal criminal criminal criminal criminal criminal, DC, the FBI has begun to send about 120 agents overnight to help local law enforcement of fighting carjackings and other violent crime, according to Washington Post.
This comes when Trump has threatened a federal takeover of the city, even when data shows violent crime that fell into the country’s capital. The president was recently furious after a young administrative employee was allegedly assaulted in an attempt at carjacking.
On Saturday, Trump announced that a press conference on Monday would end violent crime in Washington. On Sunday he went to the truth again, this time to encourage the city’s homeless to “clear out” “immediately.” The president compared his crime -fighting act with his work limiting illegal immigration at the southern border.
The FBI agents of the Bureau’s Contributing, Public Corruption and Other Units are now set to participate in traffic stops as they lack the right training, The post noted.
Trump ordered federal law enforcement agents from a number of agencies to be sent to Bygader last week, and he said more young people should be charged in the justice system as adults.
The paper found that the diversion to local crime has caused frustration over the FBI. Most of the 120 agents authorized by the administration to fight for crime with the DC police come from the Washington Field Office. FBI agents usually do not have the authority to carry out traffic stops and people who are familiar with the situation told The post that the agents could be sent to support other agencies.
Federal land is all over the country’s capital, and local law enforcement often works side by side with federal agents to patrol it. However, these tasks usually fall to the US Park Police and Secret Service and not the FBI.
Anonymous top officials in the DC Police Department told The post That Trump administration has not asked how to implement these extra resources. Since DC is not a state, federal authorities can exercise more control over the city, even when residents and local elected leaders protest.
DC residents choose their own mayor and city council after the Home Rule Act of 1973. However, a federal takeover of Washington’s Ministry of Police would be an unusual use of force in a city where local leaders have few ways to withstand federal intrusion.
Sunday morning told the FBI The post In a statement that “Agents from the FBI Washington Field Office continue to participate in the increased federal law enforcement presence in DC, which includes helping our law enforcement partners.”
Trump took to the truth social Sunday afternoon to call the mayor of the city.
“The mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances and the crime numbers get worse and the city is only dirty and less attractive,” he said.
By performing at MSNBC on Sunday, Bowser said Washington “did not experience a crime spike.”
“It is true that we had a terrible increase in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023,” she said. “We have spent over the past two years down violent crime in this city and driven it down to a 30-year-old low.”
The capitals of the capitals reported that violent crime in the first seven months of this year had fallen by 26 percent compared to 2024. Overall, crime was down approx. seven percent.
“If the priority is to show power in an American city, we know he can do this,” Bowser added. “But it won’t be because there’s an increase in crime.”
