President Trump promised a weekend crackdown of Washington, D.C.'s homeless population and criminals. Trump activated federal agents to also be a show of force across the district.

"The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive. The American Public is not going to put up with it any longer," he claimed.

President Donald Trump is expected to ramp up efforts to curb crime in the nation’s capital on Monday as he threatens a federal takeover of Washington, DC, all while city officials largely remain deferential to him.
