President Trump had to intervene to stop a staggering amount of crime in the nations capital city.
6,000 individuals have been arrested in Washington since the launch of the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force one year ago, the U.S. Marshals Service said in an Aug. 10 statement.
The task force was established through a March 2025 executive order signed by President Donald Trump that aimed to tackle concerns about crime, public order, and urban aesthetics in the nation’s capital.
“One year later, the results speak for themselves,” the U.S. Marshals Service said. We ask why mayor Bowser didn’t act to stop the crime?
Those arrested under Trump verify the failure of Bowser. Those arrested include more than 3,200 people apprehended for narcotics-related crimes, more than 100 known gang members, and 35 homicide suspects. Almost 2,000 illegal firearms have been seized.
“This has been the largest, most aggressive law enforcement collaboration ever assembled to confront crime in a major American city,” the Marshals Service said.
In January, the task force arrested three MS-13 gang members wanted for first-degree murder over the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy. In October 2025, two other people were arrested for the attempted carjacking, robbery, and beating of a former staffer from the Department of Government Efficiency.
