Washington D.C., was spiraling into chaos. Carjackings, robberies, homicides, and assaults were rising, with residents left to fend for themselves as Biden and local Democrat leaders failed to act. Then came a turning point: President Donald Trump ordered a 30-day federal surge of law enforcement into the nation’s capital.
The results were historic.
Crime Collapsed Under Federal Control
According to The National Desk, nearly 2,700 arrests were made in just 34 days. Violent crimes dropped 17 percent, property crimes fell 10 percent, and the city went from chaos to what President Trump described as “virtually crime free.”
Independent reports confirmed the numbers:
- Carjackings fell by 83–87% (Fox News, Breitbart)
- Robberies dropped by more than 50% (Breitbart, D.C. Police Union)
- Homicides plummeted to zero for 13 straight days (Fox News)
- Assaults with dangerous weapons decreased 32% (Breitbart)
- Motor vehicle thefts fell 37% (Breitbart)
- Arson disappeared completely in the first 11 days (Breitbart)
- Total violent crime fell 22–45% (Fox News, D.C. Police Union)
- Total crime citywide down 14–15% compared to 2024 (Fox News, Breitbart)
These are not abstract statistics. Each number represents lives saved, families protected, and neighborhoods restored.
Trump Delivered Results, Biden Delivered Excuses
While President Trump celebrated real results, Democrats scrambled to spin. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser admitted federal officers improved public safety but promised to block cooperation with ICE once the emergency order expired. (cbsaustin.com) Congressional Republicans like Rep. James Comer praised Trump’s leadership and vowed to expand tools to restore law and order.
Democrats, meanwhile, attacked the operation as “federal overreach” and doubled down on failed policies. Rep. Maxwell Frost even mocked the effort despite the undeniable success. (cbsaustin.com)
Why This Matters for Every City
Washington D.C. proved what patriots already knew: strength works, weakness kills.
When Trump took control, crime collapsed. When Biden and Democrat mayors run cities, crime explodes. From New York to Chicago to San Francisco, Americans are suffering under failed sanctuary policies and soft-on-crime prosecutors.
The D.C. surge showed the path forward. Federal leadership, zero tolerance for criminals, and real enforcement of the law.
What Comes Next
President Trump has already suggested taking this model nationwide, with Republican governors like Louisiana’s Jeff Landry open to bringing similar surges to cities like New Orleans. (cbsaustin.com)
Secure America Now is asking patriots across the country to make their voices heard.

The message is clear. The American people demand safety, not sanctuary. Law and order, not lawlessness. Strength, not surrender.
