DC crime crackdown hits one-year milestone with 16,000 arrests
The Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force—a Trump-era, multi-agency crackdown—celebrates its first anniversary with more than 16,000 arrests, including 35 homicide suspects, about 3,200 narcotics arrests, nearly 2,000 illegal guns seized, and 25 missing children located, as federal agents and National Guard support continue in Washington, D.C.; officials say safety has improved while opponents raise concerns about federal troop deployments.
