Trump's Police Takeover in D.C. Sparks Controversy Amid Crime Decline

President Trump took federal control of Washington D.C.'s police for 30 days, citing rising crime and chaos, despite crime actually decreasing in the city. He announced plans to deploy federal law enforcement and National Guard troops, criticized local officials, and claimed the city was overrun by criminals, although official crime data shows a decline. Local officials criticized the move as unprecedented and unnecessary, raising questions about the implementation and legality of the federal intervention.
