President Trump has dispatched his army of federal agents to the gritty streets of D.C. to put an end to violent crime -- but what he's actually doing is killing.. TMZ.com
President Donald Trump has invoked the Home Rule Act to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, deploying 800 National Guard troops and placing operations under Attorney General Pam Bondi. Federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and Border Patrol are embedded in local policing, despite crime rates being at a 30-year low. Experts say this unprecedented move applies only to D.C., though Trump’s broader agenda includes expanding federal support for law enforcement, rolling back accountability measures, and dismantling diversity programs nationwide.
