President Donald Trump has ordered an extraordinary surge of federal law-enforcement personnel into Washington, D.C., assigning about 120 FBI agents to overnight street patrols and mobilising roughly 450 officers from nearly 20 federal agencies, according to White House and Washington Post accounts. The agents, many drawn from counter-intelligence and public-corruption units, will work alongside the Metropolitan Police Department for at least a week as part of what the administration calls a crackdown on violent crime and carjackings. The deployment follows a Saturday-night disturbance in which more than 100 teenagers rode dirt bikes, set off fireworks and exchanged gunfire near the Navy Yard, less than a mile from the U.S. Capitol, and an early-August assault on Department of Government Efficiency employee Edward Coristine. Trump said the incidents show local authorities have lost control and vowed there will be 'no more Mr. Nice Guy.' In social-media posts ahead of a Monday 10 a.m. news conference, the president threatened to seek congressional authority to revoke the district’s 1973 Home Rule Act, prosecute offenders as young as 14 as adults and evict homeless encampments from federal land. The plan is being coordinated through a new 'D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force.' Mayor Muriel Bowser countered that violent crime is down 26 % so far this year and said D.C. regularly cooperates with federal agencies. Legal analysts note that a full federal takeover would require congressional legislation and could face bipartisan resistance. Critics also warned that diverting FBI agents from their traditional investigative roles risks weakening other national-security priorities.
