President Donald Trump is setting his sights on restoring Washington, D.C., with a promise to make it “safer and more beautiful than it ever was.” His plan? Clear the streets of homelessness, put criminals behind bars, and return law and order to the nation’s capital.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump drew a sharp parallel to his decisive border policies, saying the transformation will happen “very fast.” He revealed he’ll hold a press conference Monday to unveil his full plan to “essentially, stop violent crime” in D.C.
“We’re having a News Conference tomorrow in the White House,” Trump said. “I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”
Trump continued, “It’s all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier — Be prepared! There will be no ‘MR. NICE GUY.’ We want our Capital BACK. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
This isn’t just talk. Trump has already deployed federal law enforcement to the streets of D.C., drawing on multiple agencies to deliver results the city’s own leadership has failed to achieve. The U.S. Park Police, FBI, DEA, ATF, and divisions of ICE have been working together in a concentrated seven-day crackdown on violent crime.
The urgency grew after the recent assault of Edward Coristine, a well-known DOGE member known as “Big Balls,” in the District. Following the attack, Trump warned he would take “federal control” of D.C. unless city leaders got serious about restoring safety. He has also called for updating local laws to ensure minors who commit violent crimes can be prosecuted as adults — a change many see as common sense in light of rising youth crime.
For years, residents and visitors alike have watched the nation’s capital struggle with declining safety, lenient policies, and unchecked homelessness. Trump has openly floated the idea of putting Washington under direct federal control, noting how much more effectively it could be run with a firm commitment to “law and order.”
With his track record of rapid results at the southern border, Trump’s vow to reclaim D.C. signals a major shift away from permissive policies and toward swift, decisive action — the kind that puts public safety, respect for the law, and the image of the capital back where they belong.
