In recent weeks, Washington, D.C. has experienced a notable decline in crime, coinciding with a federal law enforcement surge initiated under the Trump administration. Over 1,000 arrests have been made, contributing to a staggering 58% drop in violent crime and an 87% decline in carjackings. Mayor Muriel Bowser acknowledged the effectiveness of this federal presence in reducing crime, despite facing backlash from some residents and local Democrats. The administration claims that these results could be replicated in other cities as discussions on the future of federal law enforcement in the district continue.
