“President Trump’s efforts to make DC safe again are working,” Leavitt told reporters. “While Democrats continue to coddle violent criminals, President Trump and this administration are focused on putting them behind bars and unapologetically standing up for the safety of law abiding American citizens”

Since August 7, when the Trump administration began enforcing the President’s March “Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful” executive order, 465 criminals had been arrested, including dangerous illegal aliens.

On Monday night alone, 52 were arrested, including an “illegal alien MS-13 gang member with convictions for DWI and drug possession,” Leavitt said. She further highlighted other arrests last night for “assault with a deadly weapon for stabbing, parole violation for robbery, murder, outstanding warrant for attempted murder, assault on federal law enforcement officer and felony assault.”

Regarding homeless encampments, which are being bulldozed and cleared by federal officials, Leavitt said that 48 encampments have been removed, and more are set to be cleared.

Leavitt shared also revealed that “despite fake narratives from the media,” nearly half of the arrests occurred in “the two wards that had the highest number of violent crimes as well as homicide and assault with dangerous weapons last year.”
