Washington – In an expansion of the tactics that began in June during the immigration raids in Los Angeles, President Trump announced on Monday that he would control the Washington police administration and activate 800 National Guard soldiers in the country’s capital to help “re -establish law and order.”
“Our capital has been overlooked by violent gangs, blood -thirsty criminals, the mob’s cavity of wild youth, the narcotic drugs and the homeless,” Trump said at the White House.
“This is the day of liberation in the capital,” announced.
Trump, who sent nearly 5,000 naval infantry and the National Guard to Los Angeles in June in a move by California Governor Gavin New Roosome and La Mayor Karen Bass, Executive order Declaration of a state of public safety emergency in the capital, the matter required Article 740 of the law of the province of Colombia, which places the Capital Police Department under direct federal control.
California ruled Trump’s move in the capital, warning that what happened in Los Angeles was now happening throughout the country.
“He was evoking in Los Angeles,” New News He said On X. “He will shine on his way to militarization, which city he wants in America. This is what dictatorships do.”
In his briefing, Trump drew the capital with dark dark terminology as a dark hell “from crime, bloodshed, intuition, protein and worse.” He said that he intends to become harsh, citing the enforcement of his strict administration on the southern border of the nation.
Trump has already said that his administration began removing the homeless from camps throughout the city, and said he intended to target uncomfortable immigrants. He pledged to “restore the city to the glossy capital that everyone wants.”
The White House also noted in a Fact paper Monday, the capital had the murder rate 2024 27 per 100,000 peopleThe fourth highest murder in the country. In comparison, the Los Angeles killing rate is 7.1 per 100,000 people.
but Data also shows that violent crime has decreased Greatly in the capital in recent years.
Just a few weeks before Trump took office, the Ministry of Justice announced this The violent crime in the city was at its lowest level in 30 years. Murder decreased by 32 %, robbery decreased by 39 % and armed Sarouga operations decreased by 53 % compared to 2023 levels, according to the data collected by the Metropolitan Police Administration.
At a press conference on Monday, the mayor of the capital, Morel Bousser, described Trump’s deployment of “disturbing and unprecedented” forces. But she also tried to hit a reconciliation tone with the president, admitting that he was working in the law speech in her region.
“We are not a state. We do not control the National Guard,” she told reporters. “… the limited domestic rule gives the federal government the ability to intrude our independence in several ways.”
Buser suggested that the president had been confused in the province, as he presented the idea that his views about the capital were largely his experience in the Kofid era.
“It is true that these were more challenging times,” Boser told reporters. “It is also correct that we have seen a rise in the crime after the sentence. But we worked quickly to put the laws in place and the tactics that obtained the violent perpetrators from our streets and gave police officers more tools, which is why we saw a significant decrease in the crime.”
Buser said that the accountability for crimes related to weapons in the region is still an anxious issue, as it again presented the olive branch to Trump. But she noticed that the crime in the capital is declining to prenatal levels and that violent crime statistics are at its lowest level for 30 years.
Brian Shawwal, the public prosecutor in the province of Colombia, He said in a statement “There is no emergency of the crime” in the capital and that the deployment of the administration of the forces was “unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful.”
His office refuted the claims of Janine Peru, the American lawyer in the province of Colombia, who said to the events, or as they put it, the “young bad guys”, often granted monitoring or other lenient rulings.
In the capital, the US Public Prosecutor’s Office deals with all the adult felonies and the majority of adult misdemeanors, while the Shawwalb Office is specialized in the crimes committed by the events and some adult misdemeanors.
Since Shawalb took office in January 2023, the office ruled many events at higher rates that the mayor had to issue an emergency matter that creates a greater space in juvenile detention facilities, according to his office. Last year, the office sued more than 90 % of the killing and tried to kill, 88 % of violent attack cases and 87 % of theft cases, according to the statement.
Ken Lang, a veterans of the Baltimore Police Department and an expert in law, said that Trump’s actions in the capital could be an attempt to “design a new law enforcement strategy by making federal and state agencies and local agencies better together.”
But because it is a federal region, not a state, the capital said a “unique legal position” under the Law of the Home Base.
Oklahoma mayor David Holt, who is also the head of the American mayor’s conference, condemned the movement of Trump as a “acquisition”, and said “local control is always the best.”
Holt noted that the Trump administration data – specifically, report the national crime rate of the FBI last week – shows that crime rates decrease in cities throughout the country.
Trump said that the deployment of forces in the capital should be a warning to cities throughout the country – including Los Angeles.
“We hope to watch Los Angeles,” Trump said, “We hope to watch Los Angeles,” he was affected by Bass and New Roosom because of their dealings with the fiery storm that swept the area in January, and the destruction of thousands of homes.
Trump said: “The mayor is incompetent and also the governor of newspapers.” “I got a good line of the bull – but that’s about it.”
Trump’s announcement comes that he was deploying forces in the capital more than two months after his people, a major legal battle with California when he sent thousands of forces to Los Angeles. He said they were necessary to combat what he described as “violent mob, rebellion” with the outbreak of protests in the city against federal immigration raids.
But the protests calmed down relatively quickly and said local officials that they were primarily kept under examination by the police. The National Guard and Marine Corps in Los Angeles ended, as some federal buildings protected and some federal agents when conducting immigration enforcement operations. Military officials said that the forces are limited to security and control of the crowds and have no law enforcement.
Trump’s deployment of the forces to the capital immediately found his way to the battle of the California court on whether his administration violates the Posse Comitaus law, which prohibits the Federal Army from enforcement of the civil law.
Senior US military officials also witnessed the American boycott judge, Charles R. Prayer at the Federal Court of San Francisco on Monday, California lawyers soon made a maneuver for Defense Minister Beit Higseth in evidence, hoping to strengthen their argument that the government did not violate the law on purpose, but it is possible that it would do so again.
“This is one of the restless relief tests, right?” Prayer said. “The current behavior may be related to this issue.”
In June, Prayer Trump had destroyed the law when he mobilized thousands of members of the National Guard in California against the wishes of the state.
In a 36-page resolution, Prayer wrote that Trump’s actions “were illegal-and both of them exceeded his legal authority and violated the tenth amendment to the US constitution.”
However, the Court of Appeal in the ninth American circle stopped this court, which allowed the forces to stay in Los Angeles while the case plays in the Federal Court. The Court of Appeal found that the president had a wide authority, although it was not “unlikely”, to deploy the army in American cities.
This decision is scheduled to be reviewed by the “En BANC” committee from the Court of Appeal. Meanwhile, California continues to fight what it says are illegal uses of the army to enforce the civil law in the judge’s court in San Francisco.
