The Trump admin is tired of the Capitol City crime. They’re taking the horse by the reins.
And now the Washington, D.C. law enforcement has thrown in the towel to fight back against Trump.
President Donald Trump is delivering on his promise to make America safe again, starting right in the heart of our nation’s capital. In a move that’s got leftists squirming, Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department is finally stepping up to work hand-in-hand with federal immigration enforcers. This game-changing order from Police Chief Pamela A. Smith marks the death knell for DC’s disastrous sanctuary policies that have shielded criminals for far too long.
“Officers in Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department can now assist federal immigration authorities,” as the chief laid out in her directive. This means local cops can share critical intel during routine traffic stops and even help transport immigration agents and their catches. It’s about time – no more coddling illegals while American families suffer.
This shift comes hot on the heels of DC’s liberal elite finally admitting defeat. Since 2020, the city has been handcuffed by a sanctuary law that blocked cooperation with ICE, turning the capital into a magnet for lawbreakers. But Mayor Muriel Bowser is pushing to scrap that nonsense, and White House Border Czar Tom Homan didn’t mince words: “DC was ‘not going to be a sanctuary city.'”
Trump’s iron-fisted approach is already paying dividends in DC, where he’s declared a public safety emergency to root out the rot. Casting the capital city as “overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals,” the president announced federal oversight of the police and National Guard deployment. This isn’t just talk – it’s action to reclaim our streets from the chaos sown by years of Democrat neglect.
“This is liberation day in D.C., and we’re going to take our capital back,” Trump proclaimed at a press conference. And he’s not stopping at words; his administration has surged federal resources to back it up, including activating the DC National Guard for street patrols and arrests. Early reports show dozens of takedowns in just the first days, targeting gang members and repeat offenders who’ve terrorized residents.
Despite the fake news peddling stats about crime dips, Trump knows the real story: DC’s streets were a war zone under Biden’s watch, with carjackings and robberies spiking before the president’s intervention. His team points to a White House fact sheet outlining how federal control will slash violent crime further, making DC a shining example for the rest of the country.
Nationwide, Trump’s law-and-order agenda is unleashing American police like never before. In April 2025, he signed a powerhouse Executive Order titled “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens.” This directive sets best practices for state and local forces, boosts officer pay and benefits, and ramps up federal support to hunt down thugs wherever they hide.
The order isn’t just paperwork – it’s a blueprint for victory. It directs the Attorney General to lengthen sentences for violent crimes and expand policing in high-crime hotspots, drawing from Project 2025’s roadmap to restore order in liberal-run cities that have gone soft on crooks.
Trump’s vision extends far beyond DC, with federal agents deployed to blue cities like Chicago, New York, and San Francisco under Operation Aurora – a massive initiative to dismantle gangs and deport criminal aliens. Sources from the Department of Homeland Security confirm that since January 2025, these surges have led to thousands of arrests, crippling MS-13 and other foreign-born syndicates that Biden let flourish.
In DC specifically, the president’s emergency declaration overrides the weak Home Rule Act, allowing for extended federal control if needed. On Wednesday, he hinted at invoking a national emergency to keep the pressure on, ensuring no congressional meddling from swamp creatures slows the cleanup.
Bowser’s office deferred to the MPD for details, but the silence from the police department speaks volumes – they’re finally free to do their jobs without leftist shackles. This repeal push is a direct result of Trump’s relentless pressure, proving that when America First leadership steps in, even deep-blue holdouts fold.
Across the country, Trump’s administration has revived programs like the 1033 initiative, equipping local police with military-grade tools to combat urban warfare. His DOJ has prioritized prosecuting federal crimes in sanctuary jurisdictions, cutting off funding to cities that harbor illegals and forcing them to comply or face the consequences.
The results are already stacking up: Preliminary data from the FBI shows a nationwide drop in violent crime rates since Trump’s inauguration, with homicide reductions in key areas attributed to his zero-tolerance policies. But don’t expect the mainstream media to highlight that – they’re too busy defending the old guard.
Trump’s crackdown in DC is just the opening salvo in a war on lawlessness. By federalizing the MPD and sending in the Guard, he’s modeling how to handle crime waves that liberals ignored for years. Expect more cities to follow suit as mayors see the writing on the wall to cooperate or get overridden.
