Homeless camps in Washington, D.C., have been cleared in President Donald Trump’s crime-fighting takeover as Attorney General Pam Bondi replaced the city’s police commissioner with the Drug Enforcement Administration chief.
Trump announced Monday he was placing the D.C. police department under direct federal control and deploying the National Guard to “rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, and worse,” despite violent crime declining in recent years.
