One Year Later, President Trump Has Delivered on Making D.C. Safe Again
One year after President Donald J. Trump declared a crime emergency in the District of Columbia and unleashed the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, the results are undeniable.
The nation’s capital is no longer a Democrat-run nightmare of murder and lawlessness. Violent predators , gangbangers , drug traffickers , and sex offenders have been removed from the streets. Homeless encampments cleared . Parks reclaimed . Crime driven toward historic lows
The Task Force — an unprecedented partnership of more than 20 federal and local agencies, backed by the National Guard — has delivered unrelenting enforcement :
- Over 16,000 arrests
- 35 homicide suspects locked up
- More than 100 known gangbangers removed
- Over 3,200 drug-related arrests
- Nearly 2,000 illegal firearms seized
- 25 missing children returned home
Under President Trump’s leadership, violent crime has been smashed to levels not seen in decades. Homicides have plunged . Carjackings, robberies, and overall crime have dropped sharply. What was once among America’s most dangerous cities is now on a clear path to become the safest and most beautiful capital in the world.
President Trump promised to dismantle the rampant crime crisis Democrats allowed to fester — and he kept that promise.
One year later, the record is clear: President Trump made D.C. safe again.
