Bowser conveyed her ambivalent view of the Trump administration's federalization of D.C. in a situational update since Trump announced efforts to combat crime in the city on Aug. 7. On one hand, she said the changes have resulted in less crime, but on the other she also expressed deep concern about residents' "living in fear."

"We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city," Bowser, a Democrat, told reporters about the expansion of federal law enforcement and its partnership with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Carjackings, she said, were the "most troubling" crime that plagued D.C. in 2023, and they have decreased in recent years. Bowser said that in the 20 days since the federal takeover, there has been an 87% drop in carjackings compared with the same period last year. The data cited also showed a 15% fall in crime overall in the district during the same period last year.

"We know that when carjackings go down, when use of guns goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer, so this surge has been important to us," said Bowser, who added that she has been personally engaged with Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

@BritishFailedAesthetic My interpretation is that he is trying to keep politics out of the pulpit by calling out those who exploit their faith for political ends and who seek to blur the separation of Church from State.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Tell your party to do the same. 😂

@Zonuss What party am I? I'm not a Republican

@BizSuitStacy You have proof they were drug smugglers?

Even if they were, we have laws....but you don't give a damn about the law.

@JSul3 Imagine that, a left-wing nut-job marxist concerned about the law. Will wonders never cease....
