Here’s a concise update on DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s press conference held after President Trump’s announcement on National Guard deployment and federal takeover of the city’s police:
Mayor Bowser described Trump’s actions—invoking Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy 800 National Guard troops—as “unsettling and unprecedented,” though "not totally surprised" given prior rhetoric . She emphasized that violent crime in Washington is actually at a 30-year low and stressed ongoing progress despite a spike in 2023.
Bowser reassured residents that the city government will continue to operate with pride, highlighting D.C.’s strengths—from its public schools and transportation to its vibrant communities and parks—and reiterated that nothing has changed in expectations for law enforcement: “Everyone should follow the law… nothing has changed about that”.
Bowser pushed back on the federal move, defended local governance, and reaffirmed her confidence in D.C.’s stability and safety.
