<p>Folks in our nation&#8217;s capital are already feeling safer since President Donald Trump, mere days ago, started cracking down on crime in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>On Monday, Trump signed an executive order declaring a crime emergency in D.C., and moved to protect public servants, citizens, and tourists, citing staggering crime statistics.</p>
<p>The president has already federalized D.C.&#8217;s police department and deployed 800 National Guard troops to help with this effort. Additionally, the city is now cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), tackling illegal immigration.</p>
<p>&#8220;Went on a run through DC tonight. Insane amount of people out doing the same,&#8221; James Laverty posted to X on Thursday. &#8220;Cops everywhere but the vibe was different. People feel safe again. Common sense prevails.&#8221;</p>

<p>Journalist and commentator Katie Pavlich also noticed the swift changes in D.C.</p>
<p>&#8220;First time at Union Station this morning since Trump’s crime crackdown and there wasn’t a single crazy person screaming, vagrant or person doing drugs. Instead, lots of families visiting D.C.,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Wonderful!!!&#8221;</p>

<p>Additionally, a woman&#8217;s video posted to TikTok and X, which commented on the safe vibes of the D.C. area, went viral, racking up millions of views.</p>
<p>“Finally able to chill at a red light with my windows down, not worried about if one of them young n****s is coming,” TikTok user bigdawglexi said, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/15/us-news/dc-woman-goes-viral-after-sharing-she-feels-more-safe-than-ever-in-capital-after-trumps-law/">highlighted</a> by the New York Post. “Riding through the city, feeling more safe than I ever felt.&#8221;</p>
<p>In another post, the woman said it&#8217;s “real quiet in the city, real livable, real ‘I like that,'&#8221; adding that this was due to &#8220;Trump’s Law.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p>However, elected Democrats — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-opposing-trumps-dc-crack-down-lead-americas-most-dangerous-cities">including</a> Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, and California Governor Gavin Newsom — are complaining about Trump&#8217;s efforts in D.C.</p>
<p>Gov. Newsom, for example, suggested Trump is a &#8220;dictator&#8221; for cleaning up the city.</p>
