President Trump isn’t waiting on City Hall. He’s moving in.

Just before Trump’s major White House press conference today, Trump confirmed he’s ready to deploy up to 1,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to crush the crime wave, clear out homeless encampments, and restore America’s capital to its former glory.

“Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR,” Trump promised, declaring “D.C. will be LIBERATED today!”

This comes after a violent surge—including the brutal beating of a former federal official—and what Trump calls Mayor Bowser’s repeated failures to protect her city.

President Trump is done putting up with America’s capital being overrun. While federal control isn’t the first choice, bold action is needed to protect Americans.

✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

President Trump wrapped up another jam-packed week with big announcements that show he’s taking an aggressive, all-hands-on-deck approach to several major issues. Vowing to make Washington D.C. “safer and more beautiful than it ever was before,” he’s pushing ahead with plans for federal intervention in the city’s crime crisis, relocating the homeless population and cracking down on criminals with a zero tolerance treatment.

Over in Alaska, the spotlight is on Trump’s first face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin since the Ukraine invasion, as he works to broker peace while facing reports that neither Putin nor Zelensky are eager to give up territory. And with news now out about his secret authorization of military action against Latin American drug cartels, Trump is doubling down on his multi-front fight against criminal networks threatening America’s security. From the streets of D.C. to high-stakes diplomacy with Russia to the cartel battlefront, the president is setting up what could be a very pivotal week ahead.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

🔔 Trump Deploys National Guard to D.C. 🔔

President Trump has declared Washington, D.C., "totally out of control" and vowed to make the nation's capital "safer and more beautiful than it ever was before" through aggressive federal intervention. The president announced plans to deploy members of the National Guard immediately relocate the homeless population "far from" the capital while putting criminals in jail, stating there will be no "Mr. Nice Guy" approach as his administration seeks to reclaim control of the city. Trump declared that he was taking the capital back from rampant crime in the city.

Almost 120 FBI agents were deployed for nightlong shifts to assist D.C. law enforcement in an effort to stop Washington-based carjackings and violent crime. A spokesperson for the FBI told The New York Times that there was involvement “in the increased federal law enforcement presence in Washington” by its agents. A White House official has said that around 450 federal officers would be “in high traffic areas and other known hotspot across Washington, DC.”

The renewed federal focus follows a series of violent incidents in the city, including the brutal assault of former Department of Government Efficiency employee Edward Coristine, nicknamed "Big Balls," which prompted President Trump to threaten federal takeover of D.C.'s police force. The president has repeatedly described Washington, D.C., as "one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world" and criticized local "youths" and gang members, some as young as 14 years old, for randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens. Trump has called for changes to D.C. laws to allow teenagers to be prosecuted as adults, arguing that current juvenile offenders know they will be almost immediately released.

Despite these security concerns, the Trump administration plans to cut $20 million in security funding for Washington, D.C., reducing the city's urban security fund by 44% year-over-year to $25.2 million. The Department of Homeland Security justified the cuts by citing a shift in the threat landscape from large-scale coordinated attacks to simpler, small-scale assaults, though D.C. received the largest funding decrease among urban areas in the program. This reduction comes even as President Trump has directed federal law enforcement agencies including the U.S. Park Police, FBI, DEA, ATF, and ICE divisions to increase their presence patrolling the streets of the nation's capital.

Youth crime has emerged as a particularly troubling trend in D.C., with entire curfews imposed on parts of the city to address young people raiding CVS stores, carjacking residents, tearing through grocery stores, and roaming the streets at midnight. The impact on daily life has become evident as grocery stores now require receipt scanning to exit through locked gates and drug stores require employees to unlock basic toiletries, signaling that businesses no longer feel they can operate normally. Truancy rates in D.C. are among the highest in the nation, contributing to the problem of young people not attending school and instead engaging in criminal activities.

The crime statistics present a complex picture, with violent crime in D.C. dropping 35% between 2023 and 2024 according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, including a 30% decrease in homicides, 22% drop in sexual abuse cases, and 27% reduction in assault with dangerous weapons. However, Trump has dismissed local efforts, stating that D.C. Mayor 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." White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that President Trump has directed increased federal law enforcement presence, declaring there will be "no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C."

Trump's approach represents a decisive shift toward federal intervention in what has traditionally been local governance, with the president threatening that if D.C. doesn't "get its act together, and quickly," his administration will have "no choice but to take Federal control of the City." The comprehensive plan, which the president detailed during a White House press conference, seeks to address what he calls a "crime plague" through immediate action rather than the measured local approaches that have characterized previous efforts to address the capital's urban challenges.

🗂️ The Trump administration on Friday directed all federal agencies to erase any records related to employees' COVID-19 vaccination status, prior mandate noncompliance or exemption requests. U.S. Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor stated that federal workers were fired, punished or sidelined for simply making a personal medical decision during the pandemic. Unless an employee affirmatively opts out within 90 days, all vaccine-related information must be permanently removed from personnel files, and agencies are barred from using vaccine history in any employment decisions including hiring, promotion, discipline or termination.

👶 Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told "Pod Save America" on Sunday that Democrats would be smart to adopt President Trump's campaign promise to expand coverage for in vitro fertilization treatments, stating "I think it's good policy." Buttigieg emphasized that being truly pro-family means supporting families through direct government support or ensuring fertility treatments are part of private healthcare coverage. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded to criticism about President Trump's IVF promises by stating that the administration is committed to using its authorities to deliver on the pledge to expand access to fertility treatments for Americans struggling to start families.

⚖️ The Trump administration is seeking $1 billion from UCLA to settle discrimination and antisemitism allegations in exchange for restoring more than half a billion dollars in frozen grant funding. The proposed agreement requires UCLA to pay the federal government $1 billion over multiple installments and establish a $172 million claims fund for alleged victims of Title VII violations. The Trump administration has already suspended $584 million in federal grants from UCLA after the Justice Department found the school violated civil rights laws following controversies over anti-Israel protests that included allowing protesters to ban Jews from a part of campus known as a "Jew Exclusion Zone."

🇺🇳 President Trump announced Saturday he will nominate Tammy Bruce, currently the State Department's spokeswoman, to serve as Deputy U.S. Representative to the United Nations with the rank of ambassador. Bruce was appointed State Department spokeswoman in January 2025, shortly before the start of President Trump's second term, after he described her as a "highly respected political analyst." A political analyst, author, and former Fox News contributor, Bruce earned her bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Southern California and was previously involved in liberal activism before becoming a prominent conservative voice in television and radio.

📋 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard overrode officials from the CIA and other intelligence agencies to release a "minimally redacted" version of declassified documents that shed light on the Obama administration's fabricated Trump-Russia collusion narrative. Gabbard said the 46-page House Intelligence report revealed details about the "most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history," including findings that former CIA Director John Brennan and others allegedly fabricated the Russia Hoax and knowingly lied to the American people. A source familiar with the process told the Washington Post that while the CIA proposed redactions to the document, Gabbard has greater declassification authority and President Trump approved the version with minimal redactions and no edits.
