WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Works (AFW) applauds President Donald J. Trump’s declaration of a Crime Emergency in Washington, D.C., to liberate our Nation’s capital from crime and homelessness.
“Three years ago, President Trump returned to Washington, D.C. for the first time since leaving office in 2021 and declared that ‘we need an all-out effort to defeat crime in America.’ Today, that promise is being kept. It’s ‘Liberation Day’ for D.C., and it couldn’t come at a better time for Americans. After decades of the Left’s pro-crime policies, our once great capital is unrecognizable, with crime and homelessness flooding the streets. The president’s bold executive action is exactly what we need. It’s time to Make Cities Great Again, starting with D.C.”
