Trump also stated that he has formally invoked the Home Rule Act to place the Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control.
"The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. "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".
The Democratic mayor of Washington, DC, Muriel Bowser, said on Sunday the capital was "not experiencing a crime spike."

"It is true that we had a terrible spike in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023," Bowser said on MSNBC's the Weekend. "We have spent over the last two years driving down violent crime in this city, driving it down to a 30-year low."
While details of the plan were unclear, the administration is preparing to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, a US official said.
