President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will seek more permanent federal control of the Washington, D.C., police force as he continues his efforts to ramp-up crime enforcement in the nation's capital.

President Donald Trump recently promised Washington would be "LIBERATED" from "Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum."

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced Saturday that he is deploying members of the West Virginia National Guard to Washington, D.C., in support of the Trump administration’s efforts to ramp up a military presence in the nation’s capital.

National Guard members deployed to D.C. to combat "lawlessness" will remain until late September, according to a leaked memo.

The National Guard began to appear in Washington, DC, tonight, a day after President Donald Trump placed the nation’s capital’s police department “under direct federal control.”

After President Donald Trump's announcement that his administration would take over Washington’s police department for at least a month, hundreds of members of the National Guard began to arrive in the capital.

President Donald Trump said the federal government will take control of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department.

A federal judge in San Francisco seemed unconvinced after a three-day trial that the continued deployment of federalized members of California’s National Guard — who were originally deployed to Los Angeles in response to protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda — is lawful.

As National Guard troops deploy across her city as part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to clamp down on crime, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is responding with relative restraint.
