President Trump is ordering federal law enforcement officers to patrol the streets of Washington, DC. The White House said Thursday that the effort will start as a week-long operation but can be extended as needed.
The move started at midnight, and will include officers from the FBI, the DEA, the ATF, and ICE agents.
Earlier this week, Trump said he’d consider taking control of the DC police department after a former DOGE staff member was attacked on a Washington street.
