President Donald Trump publicly rebuked Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after the mayor purportedly asserted that only nine people had been arrested in Washington, D.C. since the federal government assumed control of the city’s policing efforts. In separate remarks posted on social media on 25 Aug 2025, Trump said the figure was inaccurate, insisting that law-enforcement agencies have taken “well over 1,000” suspects into custody, seized dozens of illegal firearms and detained multiple undocumented immigrants. Johnson has not immediately responded to the accusation. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between the White House and big-city leaders over crime data and policing strategy.
