Scores of federal agents fanned out across Washington, D.C., on Sunday night after President Trump promised a swift crackdown on crime and homelessness in the nation's capital.
Washington, D.C., has seen declining crime rates in recent years,#with violent crime hitting a 30-year low in 2024, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
At one intersection, a minor traffic accident between a car and a moped brought at least two dozen agents running, some wearing masks and one carrying a rifle. Local D.C. Metropolitan police were also on scene.
