President Donald Trump promised Monday a dramatic crackdown on crime and homelessness in Washington, D.C., announcing he will take control of the city’s municipal police force and order hundreds of National Guard troops onto the streets of the nation’s capital.

The statute does not require evidence or congressional approval — only a presidential declaration of emergency.

D.C. lawmakers announced plans to reintroduce legislation granting the District of Columbia full control over its National Guard and DC Police.
