President Donald Trump says he’s placing the Washington, D.C., police department under federal control and deploying the National Guard to make the nation’s capital safer. Trump has promised new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington, prompting the city’s mayor to voice concerns about the potential use of the National Guard to patrol the streets. Ahead of a news conference, Trump said Monday on social media that the nation’s capital would be “LIBERATED today!”
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced that Australia will recognize a Palestinian state. This move aligns with recent signals from leaders in France, Britain and Canada. Albanese's decision follows internal pressure and criticism over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which he described as a "catastrophe." The recognition will be formalized at the United Nations General Assembly in September. Conditions include no role for Hamas in a Palestinian government and the demilitarization of Gaza. Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the decision, while Australian Jewish and Palestinian groups expressed differing views on its impact.
President Donald Trump is promising new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington. That's leading the city’s Democratic mayor to voice concerns about the potential use of the National Guard to patrol the streets in the nation’s capital. The Republican president says he's holding a White House news conference Monday to discuss his plans to make the District of Columbia “safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.” On Thursday, Trump directed an increased federal law enforcement presence in the city for seven days “with the option to extend as needed.” Federal agencies including the FBI assigned more than 120 officers and agents to assist in Washington.
President Donald Trump's promised law enforcement surge in Washington, D.C., did not appear to happen as scheduled on its first night. In the early morning hours as the bars closed down, there was no visible increase in law enforcement. Trump had announced a security lockdown starting at midnight.
The catalyst was the assault last weekend on a high-profile member of the Department of Government Efficiency by a group of teenagers in an attempted carjacking. The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed “Big Balls,” was among the most visible figures of Trump’s DOGE, which was tasked with slashing federal bureaucracy.
Trump is completely within his powers in deploying federal law enforcement assets on D.C. streets. He could also deploy the National Guard. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has not publicly responded.
