The U.S. Marshals Service has announced a $500 reward for tips leading to arrests in Washington, D.C., as part of an intensified federal crackdown on crime under President Donald Trump's administration. The initiative aims to engage the public in enhancing safety in the capital. FBI Director Kash Patel reported that within one week, federal law enforcement has made 550 arrests involving violent criminals, seized dozens of firearms, and confiscated 40 drug shipments. Patel emphasized the visible impact of these efforts on the streets and pledged to continue combating crime until all communities in D.C. are safe. Additionally, the FBI announced the capture of the fourth 'Most Wanted' fugitive during Trump's second term, a number comparable to the total apprehended during the previous administration's four years. The White House highlighted the removal of guns and drugs from the streets as a key achievement of this crime crackdown.
