White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller controversially compared Washington, D.C.'s violence levels to Baghdad and other global hotspots, prompting President Trump to consider federalizing the city. Miller cited statistics to support his claim, referencing a recent assault on an Elon Musk associate as evidence. Trump stated that D.C. crime is out of control and threatened to federalize the city if the situation doesn't improve, advocating for prosecuting juveniles as adults.
