Trump already has federal law-enforcement on DC streets.
His next step is likely to bring in National Guard to
try and smush-down the street thugs and such. A few
recent very high-profile incidents will justify this.

Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low
In January, the Metropolitan police department and US attorney’s office released a report indicating that total violent crime in DC in 2024 was
down 35% from the prior year, marking the lowest rate in over 30 years.
The overall violent crime reduction included a 32% decline in homicides,
a 39% decline in robberies, a 53% decline in armed carjackings and a 27% decline in assaults with a dangerous weapon, compared to 2023. The
progress, US attorney Matthew Graves said at the time, was based on a
strategy that focused on specific groups and drug trafficking networks targeting certain neighborhoods.
