President Donald Trump has moved to federalize policing in Washington, D.C., following a surge in violent crimes, including carjackings and shootings targeting government officials. The plan has sparked widespread debate, with critics calling it an overreach and supporters calling for federal intervention to tackle the growing public safety crisis in the city. The decision comes after a string of high-profile incidents that have drawn national attention and raised concerns about the city’s safety.
Fox News contributor and former D.C. homicide detective Ted Williams is among those who oppose the federal intervention.
