Trump orders National Guard troops into Washington to curb crime
(MENAFN) U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday ordered National Guard troops into Washington, D.C., pledging a federal takeover of the city’s police department to curb crime.
“We’re taking our capital back,” Trump declared at a press conference, describing the move as a “historic action” aimed at rescuing the city from “crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor.”
The decision followed the recent assault of 19-year-old Edward Coristine, a former staff member of the Department of Government Efficiency, during an attempted carjacking by juveniles.
Senator Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois and the top member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, criticized the intervention, calling it “political theater.”
