President Trump taps federal law enforcement agencies to police Washington, D.C.
Briefly

Federal law enforcement agencies are being directed to increase their presence in Washington, D.C., for at least seven days to address violent crime. This decision follows an attempted carjacking incident involving a former staffer from the Trump administration. The initiative is aimed at protecting residents and visitors from crime. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized the commitment to making the capital safer. The operation will be led by U.S. Park Police, with assistance from various federal agencies, although local officials reported no visible increase in police presence yet.
There will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C. President Trump is committed to making our Nation's capital safer for its residents, lawmakers, and visitors from all around the world.
According to a White House official, the policing initiative will be led by the U.S. Park Police, with cooperation from more than a dozen other federal law enforcement agencies.
