The Trump administration is highlighting what officials are calling a historic public safety turnaround in Washington, D.C., crediting the National Guard for helping restore law and order in the nation’s capital. During a ceremony on Thursday, War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and White House adviser Stephen Miller praised the task force’s efforts, saying the improvements reflect a renewed focus on public safety and accountability. According to figures cited at the event, homicides in D.C. have dropped by 45%, while assaults with a dangerous weapon are down 46% since President Trump’s 2025 executive order aimed at making the District “safe and beautiful.” Officials also pointed to broader improvements in cleanliness, order, and quality of life across the city.
