Trump's Crime Crackdown and the Rising Tensions in D.C. Courts

TL;DR Summary
The article discusses the ongoing crisis in Washington D.C.'s courts caused by high judicial vacancies, which have led to case backlogs and delayed justice, despite increased law enforcement efforts under the Trump administration. The vacancies, particularly on the Superior Court and Court of Appeals, are exacerbated by the complex nomination and confirmation process controlled by the president and Senate, with little action from Congress, impacting public safety and access to justice in the district.
