President Trump has threatened to declare a national emergency in Washington, D.C., to ensure his controversial crime crackdown survives.
He railed against Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser’s decision to end the cooperation between the district’s police force and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers he sent in.
Trump is also making bizarre claims about falling crime in Memphis being down to his intervention, even though he has not yet deployed any National Guard.
Writing on Truth Social at around 1 a.m. Monday, Trump, 79, wrote that the National Guard and ICE patrolling the streets of the capital had “been a beautiful thing to watch.”
He then suggested that Bowser had wilted in the face of political pressure from the left.
“But, now, under pressure from the Radical Left Democrats, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has presided over this violent criminal takeover of our Capital for years, has informed the Federal Government that the Metropolitan Police Department will no longer cooperate with ICE in removing and relocating dangerous illegal aliens,” he wrote.
He then threatened to declare a national emergency, saying, “If I allowed this to happen, CRIME would come roaring back. To the people and businesses of Washington, D.C., DON’T WORRY, I AM WITH YOU, AND WON’T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. I’ll call a National Emergency, and Federalize, if necessary!!!”
Bowser said last week that the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia would no longer help ICE.

Not so bizarre. The mere threat makes criminals think twice.
So the very threat that Trump will send the NG has already succeeded. That is bizarre.
That means Trump is up and active at 1 AM. Unlike Sleepy Joe who "sun-downed" around 4 PM after getting up at 10 AM. Yet the Lib media tries to characterize this as a "late night meltdown" as if being up at 1 AM is a problem.
DailyBeast should really be banned on FR.
How things got so bad in the first place.
Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser
+1. Not a serious news organization (very few of them are).
Was in DC last week for 2 days, saw three soldiers in the metro and three walking on the mall, both groups had one guy with a sidearm, no helmets, no rifles.
Is there a good reason to post links to “Daily Beastly”?
DO IT!!
Yep, its Leftist garbage.
Wasn’t this the site that posted the fake Russian dossier?
As bad as the Huffington Post. /spit
Poor Mayor, her actions will remove all doubt when the Feds stop “policing” DC. Then what will be the Liberal excuse for the crime increase? Just can’t fix stupid! Sorry citizens have to suffer because of the Liberal agenda….
“Melt down”? Yeah...right.
Decleare it in the whole Nation.
“Trump is also making bizarre claims about falling crime in Memphis being down to his intervention, even though he has not yet deployed any National Guard.”
Not bizarre, it happens after every announcement.
What a failure of journalism. So many loaded, inflammatory words and phrases that this article is firmly in op-ed territory rather than being legitimate reporting.
No it should not be banned.....know the enemy
