A few years ago, passengers coming by train in Washington, DC met with a shock: Capital Building – Facked to the country’s most powerful MPs to be homeless in the background and being a homeless outside the union station in the foreground.
While the city has removed several spreads of one time near its prestigious sites and forced to return several progressive policies in an attempt to reduce the crime, the Trump administration is dissatisfied.
Many Washington still dodge mentally ill or drug addicts at their daily traffic. Last week, one of the employees of the Department of Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) of President Trump was attacked – a “last straw” that inspired Trump to deploy the National Guard and make the metropolitan police department federal.
Trump vowed to evict the homeless population, stating that the government would “give you a place to live, but away from the capital.” He said that a process had started over the weekend to remove the homeless in the district.

A visit to Fox News Digital found that many pre -hotspots have been cleaned for untoward, only with fabric and scattered food containers left behind as signs of recent life.
In other parts of the city – including the heart of the city – the unheard population excluded places to gather in gold and parks or on busy road corners.
In a park, about a dozen people were kept together with their luggage and some tents, which seems unaware of the new crack. A dried red substance was splashed across the pavement outside their makeshift encampment.
At another corner, a handful of individuals slept through the city’s lunch crowd, unmarried by the surrounding noise.

While most of the conversations with the homeless are worldly and non-violent, a comprehensive sense in the city has catching in the city-run by a series of high-profile, often random attacks. Some include members of unnatural population; Other people do not do, but collectively contributed to the notion that DC has become less safe.
Among them: A minor set fire to a group of other teenagers in the naval yard over the weekend; A 21 -year -old Congress Intern was shot outside the metro station during his commut home last month; And two Israeli embassy employees were closed outside a program at the Capital Jewish Museum in May.

Nevertheless, the DC was far more dangerous in the past. The city reduced 30 years for violent crime in 2024; 35% below last year. And this year, it is currently up to 26% years from the previous year. Homoids are 12% for attacks with a dangerous weapon, 37%, robbery 28% and 20% below.
Violent crime reached a fever pitch with 274 housewives in 2023. In 2024, there were 187.
Trump showed the statistics a decline in crime and said that his administration would “look into it.”
“This is a complete and total iniquity situation,” said the President. He said that MPD and federal officials would be supported by 800 DC National Guardsman and potentially “much”.
Groups dedicated to help the homeless have spoken against the administration’s move.
The Georgetown Ministry Center – Anyone can be in danger of being homeless, “a privately funded agency centered on homeless services – said in a statement.” When our most weaker citizens are demarcated and criminalized, we destroy our shared humanity. “

The DC Municipal Council called Trump’s move “infiltration on the local authority”.
“It is unfair to make the Metropolitan Police Department federal because there is no federal emergency. In addition, the National Guard does not have knowledge of public safety training or local laws. The role of a guard does not involve investigating or resolving crimes in the district. Calling the National Guard is an unnecessary deployment without any real mission.”
“Public Safety Trusts are created on coherent enforcement and community-based strategies. We must ensure that in search of our safety, we do not create an atmosphere of monitoring, threatening or uneven treatment under the law.”
