Speaking from the White House Monday morning, President Donald Trump announced he is deploying the National Guard to the streets of Washington D.C. to restore law and order against "wild youths," "homeless" and "maniacs." The Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department is now under the command of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Trump was flanked by Bondi, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Interior Secretary Doug Bergum, FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for the announcement.
"The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia," Trump continued. "The number of car thefts has doubled over the past five years, and the number of carjackings has more than tripled."
Last year former Trump administration official Mike Gill was shot while waiting for his wife. Trump mentioned his murder during the press conference.
