President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday establishing the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force to improve safety and beautify the capital city. The task force, which will involve key government agencies, aims to increase police presence, boost immigration enforcement, expedite concealed carry licenses, and address Metro fare evasion.
Trump’s proposal aligns with his earlier statements advocating federal control of D.C. due to concerns over crime and homelessness. The mayor’s office has yet to respond to the executive order.
