Trump to deploy National Guard to D.C. and federalize city police
President Trump announced Monday that he's seizing control of D.C.'s police force and deploying the National Guard into the city. Why it matters: It's a major escalation of a federal crackdown already underway in the nation's capital as Trump targets crime in the District following the assault of a former DOGE staffer. The big picture: The news comes on what Trump is calling the " Liberation Day" of D.C., which he has said is "one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World," despite crime declining in the District. What they're saying: "We're going to take our Capital back," Trump said at the Monday press conference. "[It's] been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people, and we're not going to let it happen anymore." State of play: Around 450 federal law enforcement officers from departments including the Amtrak Police Department, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of the Interior were already deployed across the city Saturday and Sunday nights, according to Fox 5 and the White House. Officers made multiple arrests Saturday night, including for larceny, carrying pistols with a license, and a "final order of removal" of an undocumented immigrant, per the White House. They also confiscated drugs like fentanyl, crack cocaine, and methamphetamine. Officers also made several arrests on Friday and claimed multiple guns, per Fox 5. Between the lines: The D.C. Guard says it has some 2,700 personnel available. It's the country's only National Guard unit reporting exclusively to the president.

Trump ups rhetoric on D.C. crime and homelessness amid federal crackdown
President Trump upped his rhetoric about disarray in D.C. over the weekend while federal law enforcement officers spread across the city under a week-long crime crackdown. Why it matters: The president has hinted more action is coming for the District — heplans to host a press conference Monday at 10am with a lofty goal: "ending the Crime, Murder, and Death in our Nation's Capital," per a post on Truth Social. He'll also address cleanliness and "General Physical Renovation" of D.C. The big picture: Trump's view that crime in the nation's capital is "totally out of control" comes as crime is declining in the city. Nonviolent arrests are up under Trump's " D.C. Safe and Beautiful" executive order, which launched a federal task force in March. Driving the news: Trump ordered homeless individuals to "move out" of the city in a Sunday Truth Social post, vowing to "make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before." He promised individuals "places to stay," but "FAR from the Capital." Trump added that "[c]riminals" would be jailed — where he said they "belong" — and that it all will happen "very fast." State of play: The FBI is deploying approximately 120 agents across the city in overnight shifts to assist D.C. police in combating crimes such as carjackings, according to The Washington Post. The Secret Service and the U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division have also been instructed to begin patrols. The Trump administration hasn't coordinated with D.C. police on how best to deploy these federal officers across the city, reports the Post. Meanwhile, around 450 federal law enforcement officers from departments including the Amtrak Police Department, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of the Interior were deployed Saturday night across the city, Fox 5 reports. Officers made several arrests on Friday and claimed multiple guns, per Fox 5. What they're saying: "In just a few nights, President Trump's bold actions to Make D.C. Safe Again have already removed dangerous weapons and illegal drugs from D.C. streets — and that's not even taking into account the countless potential crimes that were deterred thanks to a large, visible law enforcement presence," White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson tells Axios in a statement. Mayor Muriel Bowser, appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend" Sunday, emphasized the decline in violent crime in the city for the second straight year, saying, "We are not experiencing a crime spike." "Any comparison to a war-torn country is hyperbolic and false," she stated. Between the lines: On Sunday, police chief Pamela Smith announced a temporary Juvenile Curfew Zone in Navy Yard after a teen shooting over the weekend. It prohibits persons under 17 from gathering in groups of nine or more from 8-11pm through Wednesday. Last week, Trump slammed the city for being too lax on juvenile offenders following an assault on a former DOGE staffer, after which two teens were arrested. Context: Last month, the president signed an executive order seeking to make it easier for cities to remove people experiencing homelessness, directing placement in "long-term" institutions for treatment to "restore public order." Advocacy groups slammed the order, which encourages the use of involuntary civil commitment — a process of placing people with mental health issues in treatment facilities without their consent. Between the lines: Trump can't just "federalize" D.C. A takeover would require Congress to overturn the city's home rule, which allows residents to elect their mayor and council members. Under that arrangement, Congress retains oversight of city laws, and the president can temporarily take over D.C. police if he "determines that special conditions of an emergency nature exist."

Entire family — including kids ages 2, 5 and 12 — killed in fiery collision with wrong-way driver on Colorado highway
Two parents and their three young children were tragically killed in a fiery head-on collision with a wrong-way driver in Colorado early Monday morning. The family of five was driving in a GMC Yukon SUV on the southbound lane of a highway shortly after 7 a.m. when the other driver switched over from the northbound lane and crashed with such force that both vehicles burst into flames, KUSA reported. Andres Cabral-Banuelos, 2; Manuel Cabral-Banuelos, 5; Maria Cabral-Banuelos, 12; Andrea Banuelos-Salazar, 30; and Manuel Cabral-Torres, 34, died at the scene despite first responders' best efforts to save them.

GoFundMe The 25-year-old driver of the Ford F-150 pickup truck that rammed into the front of their vehicle was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, according to Colorado State Police. 'The loss of an entire family is an unspeakable tragedy, and our hearts are with all who are grieving during this incredibly difficult time,' the Grand County Coroner's Office said in a statement. Advertisement The Cabral-Banuelos family lived in Kremmling, Colorado, a small town about 100 miles outside of Denver. 'In a moment's time, all five of them are gone. Just one person alone is tough on a lot of people, but five, it's just so hard. Losing all five of them, all at the same time. His youngest was 2 and his oldest was 12. They had their whole life ahead of them. It's so sad to think about,' Javier Torres-Garcia, Manuel's cousin, told KDVR. Their extended family posted a fundraiser to help cover the costs of transporting their bodies back home and eventually arranging a funeral. The family was killed on Colorado Highway 9 near mile marker 136 just after 7 a.m. on Aug. 4, 2025. Google Maps Advertisement They encouraged others to come together 'just as Manuel always wanted.' 'I was really happy to hear when he would come visit us. He was the kind of guy who always tried to get family together no matter what. Even if it was a day or two, he would always make time for family. Manny was a great dude, and he's going to be missed by a lot of people. His kids were very young,' Torres-Garcia said. As of the beginning of July, Colorado had recorded 278 traffic deaths statewide, a significant decline from 307 recorded the year prior, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
