BREAKING: President Trump announces he is invoking the D.C. Home Rule Act to place the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control and deploy the National Guard.

"This is Liberation Day in D.C. — and we're going to take our capital BACK."

POTUS lists some of the horrific statistics pertaining to violence in D.C.: "The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia... The number of car thefts has doubled over the past five years, and the number of carjackings has more than tripled."

POTUS: "This dire public safety crisis stems directly from the abject failures of the city's local leadership. The Radical Left City Council adopted no cash bail."

POTUS: "Just this past weekend, gunfire went through the Navy Yard. I saw that they fought back against police. See, they fight back until you knock the hell out of them because it's the only language they understand... They're not going to be fighting back for long."

POTUS details examples of the savage acts of violence plaguing Washington,D.C.: "Days ago, a former member of the DOGE staff was savagely beaten by a band of roving thugs after defending a young woman from an attempted carjacking... In June, a 21-year-old Congressional intern was tragically killed after being hit by a stray bullet in a drive by shooting."

POTUS on D.C.'s Radical Left government: "They turned our nation's capital into a sanctuary jurisdiction ... It's sanctuary for CRIMINALS."

POTUS: "Last week, my Administration surged 500 federal agents into the District, including from the FBI, ATF, DEA, Park Police, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Secret Service, and the Department of Homeland Security... They made DOZENS of arrests."

POTUS: "We're declaring a public safety emergency in the District of Columbia — and AG Pam Bondi is taking command of the Metropolitan Police Department as of this moment."

POTUS: "Today, we're formally declaring a Public Safety Emergency... This is a tragic emergency... I don't like being up here talking about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once beautiful Capital was."

POTUS: "They'll immediately begin massive enforcement operations targeting known gangs, drug dealers and criminal networks to get them the hell off the street."

Sec. Def: "This morning, we've mobilized the D.C. National Guard... You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week."

AG Pam Bondi: "Let me be crystal clear: crime in D.C. is ending and ending TODAY. We are going to use every power we have to fight criminals here. Mr. President, thank you for caring about our Capital."

Monday Morning Wall to Wall!

FBI Director Kash Patel: "We stood up a task force out in Northern Virginia... and we said 'Let's let good cops be cops' ... In one month, we arrested 545 violent felons... and that simplicity in law enforcement is what's coming to Washington, D.C."

POTUS on Making D.C. Safe Again: "We are going to be removing homeless encampments from all over our parks... We're getting rid of the people from underpasses and public spaces... We'll help them as much as you can help."

President Donald J. Trump has officially declared a Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia.

Here is the text of the Executive Order:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 740 of the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act (Public Law 93-198), as amended (section 740 of the Home Rule Act), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Crime is out of control in the District of Columbia. Washington, District of Columbia, is our Nation's capital and home to the central institutions of American governance. Yet rising violence in the capital now urgently endangers public servants, citizens, and tourists, disrupts safe and secure transportation and the proper functioning of the Federal Government, and forces the diversion of critical public resources toward emergency response and security measures. The city government's failure to maintain public order and safety has had a dire impact on the Federal Government's ability to operate efficiently to address the Nation's broader interests without fear of our workers being subjected to rampant violence.

The increase in violent crime in the heart of our Republic has consequences beyond the individual tragedies that have dominated media coverage. Such lawlessness also poses intolerable risks to the vital Federal functions that take place in the District of Columbia. Violence and crime hamper the recruitment and retention of essential Federal employees, undermine critical functions of Government and thus the well-being of the entire Nation, and erode confidence in the strength of the United States. These conditions are disgraceful anywhere, but particularly in the capital of our Nation and the seat of the Federal Government. Citizens, tourists, and Federal workers deserve peace and security, not fear and violence. The smooth functioning of executive departments and agencies, courts, diplomatic missions, and the Federal Government demands an effective law-enforcement mechanism capable of halting the precipitous rise in violent crime, not one that permits Government workers to be violently attacked by mobs or fatally shot close to the Federal buildings where they work.

The magnitude of the violent crime crisis places the District of Columbia among the most violent jurisdictions in the United States. In 2024, the District of Columbia averaged one of the highest robbery and murder rates of large cities nationwide. Indeed, the District of Columbia now has a higher violent crime, murder, and robbery rate than all 50 States, recording a homicide rate in 2024 of 27.54 per 100,000 residents. It also experienced the Nation's highest vehicle theft rate with 842.4 thefts per 100,000 residents -- over three times the national average of 250.2 thefts per 100,000 residents. The District of Columbia is, by some measures, among the top 20 percent of the most dangerous cities in the world.

As President, I have a solemn duty to take care that our laws are faithfully executed, and a sacred responsibility to protect the safety and security of United States citizens who live in and visit our Nation's capital, including Federal workers who live or commute into the District of Columbia. These conditions cannot persist. We will make the District of Columbia one of the safest cities in the world, not the most dangerous.

Sec. 2. Services of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia. I determine that special conditions of an emergency nature exist that require the use of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (Metropolitan Police force) for Federal purposes, including maintaining law and order in the Nation's seat of Government; protecting Federal buildings, national monuments, and other Federal property; and ensuring conditions necessary for the orderly functioning of the Federal Government.
