Federal Takeover of D.C. Police Sparks Concerns | JQJO

The White House announced a significant increase in National Guard troops and federal officers in Washington D.C., starting Wednesday. This follows President Trump's controversial takeover of the city's police department for at least a month. While the administration cites rising crime as justification, D.C. officials point to statistics showing violent crime at a 30-year low. The increased presence includes federal agents conducting patrols and clearing homeless encampments. The move has sparked concerns among some residents, who express fears about the heightened security measures.
