Former President Trump stated on social media Sunday that he is placing the Washington, D.C., police department under federal control and deploying the National Guard. His post also addressed the city's homeless population, stating they will "have to move out." The reasons behind this decision and the specific scope of federal control remain unclear. The move raises questions about federal overreach and the autonomy of local law enforcement. The National Guard deployment and comments about the homeless population have sparked controversy and criticism.
