The Trump administration has deployed approximately 120 FBI agents to Washington, D.C., to assist local law enforcement in combating a rise in carjackings and violent crime. These agents are working in overnight shifts to patrol the streets, particularly focusing on areas with heightened criminal activity. This federal intervention comes amid President Donald Trump's threats of a broader federal takeover of the nation's capital to address lawlessness. Reports indicate that FBI and DEA agents equipped with bulletproof vests have been active in the city. Additionally, federal agents have been observed patrolling predominantly Black neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., where there have been instances of civilians being confronted for minor offenses, such as smoking. The deployment is part of a larger pattern of the Trump administration reallocating federal law enforcement resources to address urban crime challenges.
