Crime Falls, Immigration Arrests Surge in D.C. After Federal Takeover of Police Force
In the first full week since the White House took operational control of Washington, D.C.’s law enforcement, the city saw a drop in reported crime — and a dramatic spike in immigration-related arrests. This shift comes after President Trump authorized the deployment of federal agents and National Guard troops to bolster the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), according to a CNN review of official records.
Beginning August 12, federal agencies embedded alongside local law enforcement in response to what the administration described as a “collapse in public safety” in the nation’s capital. Early results show a mixed picture: a modest reduction in both property and violent crimes, alongside a sharp increase in enforcement targeting undocumented immigrants.
