Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has expressed gratitude for federal assistance in addressing crime, noting a significant drop in carjackings and violent incidents during the federal law enforcement surge initiated under President Trump. However, she has also raised concerns about the presence of masked federal agents and questioned the effectiveness of certain tactics being employed. Bowser acknowledges that while crime statistics have improved, an underlying trust issue remains with the community, citing the need for transparency and collaboration between local police and federal forces. As the situation develops, she continues to navigate the delicate balance of praising federal efforts while advocating for local control and addressing public safety concerns.
