U.S. President Donald Trump announced today that he will take federal control of the Washington D.C. Police and put 800 National Guard soldiers on the streets, claiming he is "out of control for insecurity."
From the White House press room, Trump has drawn an image of a U.S. capital out of control for the crime, saying that the murders are far more "the worst in the world" than in places like Bogotá and Mexico City.
The President has enacted Section 740 of the Columbia District AutonomyAct(Home Rule Act), once a public security emergency has been declared, to put the capital police under the command of the federal government and to deploy the National Guard to "restore public order and security" in the capital.

Our capital is under attack by violent, criminal, maniac and vagrant groups, and that cannot be tolerated.
"Our capital is under attack by violent, criminal, maniac and vagrant groups, which cannot be tolerated," the president said, adding that the capital will be cleaned "quickly."
However, the law is designed to establish 48 hours of federal control over the District of Columbia Police, which allows a maximum of 30 days to be extended, after being notified to Congress.
The Republican has relied on a series of graphics that reflect the murder rate of 2024, which shows that Washington leads the classification – 27.54 per 100,000 inhabitants – almost doubles the number of Bogotá (15.1 per 100,000) and is ahead of other capitals such as Mexico City, Islamabad, Lima, Ottawa, Paris or Havana.
Trump said he expects other cities to "clean themselves up" and see what they're doing in the capital. Then he mentioned the big cities in the country where the Democratic Party rules. "I'm looking atNew York , "the president said, adding that he could do the same in Chicago.
