More details about President Trump’s orders about the capital

The president, who is surrounded by the Public Prosecutor, the Minister of Defense and the Director of the FBI, said that he was announcing that the state of public safety emergency and his administration removed the secretaries of the homeless.
“We will return our capital,” Trump announced, adding that he will also get “disposal of poor neighborhoods.”
For Trump, the efforts made to assume public safety in Washington reflect an escalation of his aggressive law enforcement. Placement of Colombia as a federal definite area gives him a unique opportunity to pay the difficult crime agenda, although he did not suggest solutions to the root causes of displacement or crime.
Trump said that the Prosecutor Bam Bondi will take over the responsibility of the metro police administration in Washington, where he also caught the pits and writings in the city and described them as “embarrassing.” The president has not presented a timetable for controlling the police station, but it is limited to 30 days under the statute.
When Trump spoke, the demonstrators gathered outside the White House to protest his movements. Local officials declined to portray the Republican President of the County as suffering from the crime and describing his actions illegal.
“The actions of the administration are unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful.” “There is no crime emergency in the province of Colombia.”
Shawwalb, a democratic, said that the crime of violence in the province had reached its lowest historical levels for 30 years last year, and decreased by another 26 % this year.
The mayor of Washington Morel Bosser said that she would follow the law “so -called emergency” even when she indicated that Trump’s actions were the reason for the presence of Colombia’s province of legal protection from these measures.
“Although this procedure today is annoying and unprecedented, I cannot say that given some of the speech of the past, we are completely surprised,” Buser said.
Crime control
The president rejected the idea that Washington needed to expand the 3500 -year -old police force, and even seeks to obtain more armed individuals passing through the city with the aim of reducing the crime.
“What you need is the rules and regulations, and you need the right people to implement,” he said.
Trump summoned Article 740 of the Colombia Provincial Ruling Law in an executive order to declare a “crime emergency” so that its administration can take over the city police force. Defense Minister Beit Higseth was directed to activate the National Guard.
While Trump portrayed himself as a friend of law enforcement and enjoyed political support from many of their groups, they have forgiven the rulings of people over 1500 people accused of crimes on January 6, 2021, including persons convicted of attacking police officers.
A person familiar with the Associated Press said that about 500 federal law enforcement officers are assigned to publication throughout the country’s capital as part of Trump’s efforts to combat crime.
The person who has been informed of the plans said that more than 100 FBI agents and about 40 agents of the alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives office are among the federal law enforcement employees who are appointed to patrols in Washington. Drug Control Department, enforcement of immigration and customs and Marshall service contribute.
The person was not allowed to discuss employee issues publicly and spoke to AP, provided that his identity was not disclosed. The Ministry of Justice had no comment on Monday morning.
National Guard
Buser, a democratic, earlier, asked about the effectiveness of the National Guard’s use to impose the laws of the city and said that the federal government may be more useful by financing more prosecutors or filling fifteen vacancies in the Supreme Court in the capital, some of which were open for years.
Bowser cannot stimulate the National Guard itself, but it can submit an application to the Pentagon.
“I think this is not the most effective use of our guard,” she said on Sunday at the weekend.
Buser noted that the violent crime in Washington had decreased since the rise in 2023. She stressed during a press conference on Monday that it believes that Trump’s views about the city were “difficult times” of the Corona virus’s relief, when he faced protests and the crime increased when the country began to recover from the outbreak of the disease.
Focus on homelessness
Trump stressed the removal of the homeless population in Washington, although it is unclear where thousands of people will go, and there were no details at his press conference on Monday.
“The homeless must go out,” Trump wrote on Sunday in a social media post. “We will give you places to stay, but away from the capital. Criminals, you don’t have to go out. We will put you in prison where you belong.”
Trump said last week that he was considering ways of the federal government to control Washington, stressing that the crime was “ridiculous” and that the city was “unsafe”, after the recent attack on a high -ranking member of the Ministry of Government efficiency.
Crime statistics
Police statistics indicate murders, theft and robbery of a decrease this year compared to this time in 2024. In general, violent crime decreased by 26 % compared to this time a year ago.
The president, full of “tents, filth, filth, and crime,” criticized the president, and it appears that he started from the attack on Edward Corestine, among the most clear figures of the effort to cut the bureaucracy known as Dog. Police arrested two 15 -year -old people in an attempt to make them up and said they were looking for others.
“This should be the best place to operate in the country, not the worst place in the country,” Trump said on Wednesday.
Buser described as “a good person who tried, but she gave many opportunities.”
Trump has repeatedly suggested that Washington can be referee to the federal authorities. This will require the abolition of the 1973 home law law in Congress, which is Trump’s move that lawyers are examining him.
Bowser admitted that the law allows the president to control the city’s police, but only if certain conditions are met.
“None of these circumstances is in our city now,” she said. “We are not facing an increase in the crime. In fact, we see the numbers of our crimes decrease.”
