August 11, 2025 – Washington, D.C.
In a historic and controversial announcement, President Donald J. Trump declared on Monday that he is invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to place the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) under direct federal control, a move described as a rare assertion of federal authority over the nation’s capital. Citing rampant crime and public safety concerns, Trump also announced the deployment of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to “re-establish law, order, and public safety,” marking a significant escalation in his administration’s approach to addressing crime in the city.
