<p>Federal authorities have arrested over 100 people in Washington, D.C., since last Thursday as President Donald Trump sends in the National Guard and federalizes D.C. police to crack down on violent crime in the nation&#8217;s capital.</p>
<p>Of the 103 people arrested by the feds since last week, 43 were detained on Tuesday, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/scoop-trumps-new-dc-crime-crackdown-yields-more-than-100-arrests">reported</a>, citing a White House official. Along with hundreds of National Guard troops, agents with the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Capitol Police, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives have also descended upon the nation&#8217;s capital to help enforce Trump&#8217;s D.C. &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; operation.</p>
<p>&#8220;President Trump&#8217;s bold leadership is quickly making our nation&#8217;s capital safer,&#8221; White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News. &#8220;In less than one week, over 100 violent criminals have already been arrested and taken off of the streets in Washington, D.C. President Trump is delivering on his campaign promise to clean up this city and restore American Greatness to our cherished capital.&#8221;</p>

<p>FBI Director Kash Patel <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1955396650005823806">said</a> on Tuesday that the bureau was involved in 10 arrests with law enforcement partners in &#8220;the first big push&#8221; of Trump&#8217;s violent crime crackdown. The FBI arrests included one &#8220;on a search warrant for a prior murder charge,&#8221; multiple arrests for unlawful possession of firearms, multiple arrests of suspects with outstanding warrants for DUI, and an arrest for violating a restraining order, according to Patel.</p>
<p>&#8220;These are just a few examples — we are just getting started. Federal partners joined local police and arrested 23 in total. When you let good cops be cops they can clean up our streets and do it fast,&#8221; the FBI director added. &#8220;More to come. Your nation&#8217;s Capital WILL be safe again.&#8221;</p>
<p>Five armored personnel carriers were seen parked near the Washington Monument on Tuesday, CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-presidency-news-dc-police-putin-08-12-25#cme99hgif00053b6s99b3sz5u">reported</a>. A White House official said that federal agents and the Metropolitan Police Department &#8220;will continue focusing on high traffic areas and other known hotspots.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just hours after Trump announced the crackdown on violent crime, a 33-year-old man was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/crime-ridden-d-c-records-100th-homicide-of-the-year-hours-after-trump-federalizes-police?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Crime-Ridden+D.C.+Records+100th+Homicide+Of+The+Year+Hours+After+Trump+Federalizes+Police">shot and killed</a> in D.C.&#8217;s Logan Circle, which is just one mile from the White House and is described as one of D.C.&#8217;s more popular neighborhoods. The fatal shooting marked D.C.&#8217;s 100th homicide of 2025.</p>
<p>White House Press Secretary <a href="https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1955320143090708745">said</a> during a press briefing on Tuesday that around 850 officers and agents &#8220;were surged across the city&#8221; on Monday night, and made 23 arrests, which included arrests on homicide, firearms, and drug charges. Trump announced that he was federalizing D.C. police and deploying the National Guard on Monday morning, but federal agents were already out on the D.C. streets making arrests late last week.</p>
<p>The president is using section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to declare an emergency and take control of the Metropolitan Police Department for up to 30 days. If Trump wants to extend his control of D.C. police beyond 30 days, Congress would need to step in and pass a joint resolution that authorizes an extension, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-congress-holds-the-key-to-extending-trumps-d-c-police-takeover?author=Daniel+Chaitin&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Why+Congress+Holds+The+Key+To+Extending+Trump%E2%80%99s+D.C.+Police+Takeover">reported</a>. The GOP-controlled House and Senate would likely grant Trump&#8217;s request to maintain control over the capital&#8217;s law enforcement.</p>
