Trump Vows Public Safety Crackdown in D.C.: ‘We Want Our Capital Back’

President Donald Trump previewed a major public safety announcement set for Monday, promising aggressive measures to restore order in Washington, D.C. In a Truth Social post, Trump said the city will be made “safer and more beautiful,” declaring, “The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY… The Criminals… We’re going to put you in jail where you belong… There will be no ‘MR. NICE GUY.’ We want our Capital BACK.”

Trump’s comments come as roughly 120 FBI agents have already been deployed to assist local law enforcement in targeting violent crime, including carjackings. The increased federal presence is part of a broader effort to address what the administration calls a breakdown in public order in the nation’s capital.

Critics claim the initiative bypasses local leadership and risks federal overreach. Supporters argue the crackdown is necessary to combat rising crime rates and make the city safe for residents, businesses, and visitors. The plan is expected to include the removal of homeless encampments and a commitment to stricter law enforcement against repeat offenders.

While some may question the handling of homeless populations, others view decisive action as essential to preserving the capital’s security and dignity. Monday’s press conference is expected to outline specific enforcement strategies and timelines.
