President Trump has imposed federal control over Washington DC's police force, claiming the city faces extremely high crime. In contrast, local authorities say violent crime has dropped significantly to its lowest levels in three decades. While the homicide rate increased in 2023, it is not the highest on record, and recent data suggests a downward trend. Criticism has also come from local officials, who see Trump's actions as unjustified and alarming.
