Trump’s D.C. Crime Crackdown Marks One Year With More Than 16,000 Arrests
Law enforcement has made more than 16,000 arrests and seized nearly 2,000 illegal guns in the first year, officials said.
- Tuesday marks one year since President Donald Trump declared "Liberation Day" in Washington, D.C., launching the "Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force" to deploy the National Guard and combat violent crime.
- High-Profile violent crimes prompted the federal intervention, including the 2024 killing of former Trump administration official Mike Gill and the June 2025 death of congressional intern Eric Tarpinian in a crossfire shooting.
- Law enforcement made more than 16,000 arrests, including 35 homicide suspects and more than 100 gang members, while overall crime fell 20% in the last year, with motor vehicle thefts dropping 53% and homicide rates declining 32%.
- Approximately 4,600 National Guard troops remain stationed in D.C., though Mayor Muriel Bowser questioned the deployment's legality, and the mission has resulted in casualties including West Virginia National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom's death.
- The Department of War estimates extending the National Guard deployment through January 2029 could cost $1.4 billion, as the administration continues clearing homeless encampments and constructing monuments honoring the nation's 250th anniversary.
