Pirro highlighted meaningful enforcement actions, including over 1,000 arrests and the seizure of 111 illegal guns. Vice President JD Vance also praised these figures as historic, criticizing the media and Democratic Party for not acknowledging the administration&#8217;s crime reduction achievements.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-has-signed-40-executive-orders-and-actions-since-taking-office\/\" title=\"Biden has signed 40 executive orders and actions since taking office\">signed executive orders<\/a> to expand federal law enforcement authority in D.C.,including increasing U.S.Park Police personnel, creating a specialized National Guard unit for public safety, and addressing Washington&#8217;s cashless bail system to keep repeat offenders detained longer. The Defense Department is mobilizing up to 1,700 National Guard troops across multiple states to support broader efforts targeting illegal immigration and crime.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these positive short-term results,local law enforcement officials caution that systemic problems remain. D.C. Police Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton called the federal takeover &#8220;drastic but necessary&#8221; due to staffing shortages and what he describes as failed local reforms. He stressed that while federal intervention was needed, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >long-term solutions require substantial investment<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/black-lives-matters-most-prominent-chapter-launches-drive-targeting-police-unions\/\" title=\"Black Lives Matter\u2019s Most Prominent Chapter Launches Drive Targeting Police Unions\">local police force<\/a> and policy changes by the D.C. Council. The article concludes by noting that sustaining and replicating these crime reductions in othre cities will be the ongoing challenge for Trump&#8217;s crackdown strategy. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jeanine Pirro celebrates 12th day of no homicides after Trump DC crime crackdown<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2212190\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3763030\/how-jeanine-pirro-is-reshaping-crime-enforcement-in-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeanine Pirro<\/a>, U.S. attorney for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3780502\/national-guardsmen-weapons-handguns-rifles-deployment-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">District of Columbia<\/a>, celebrated on Monday what she called a milestone in Washington: 12 consecutive days without a homicide under President Donald Trump&rsquo;s crime crackdown.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Last night in DC: 86 arrests. 10 illegal guns seized.

One order directed the U.S. Park Police to add personnel, created a new specialized National Guard unit for public safety, and authorized federal housing, transportation, and justice officials to step up oversight of D.C. crime-related conditions.<\/p>\n<p>A separate order targeted Washington&rsquo;s controversial cashless bail system, instructing federal prosecutors to hold people under arrest in custody whenever possible and urging changes to district policies that Trump argued allow repeat offenders back on the streets too quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The Defense Department has up to 1,700 National Guard troops <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/national-guard-mobilizing-19-states-immigration-crime-crackdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set to mobilize<\/a> in 19 states to support Trump&rsquo;s broader crackdown on illegal immigration and crime. National Guard units in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and other states could be placed on call from late August through mid-November, with the largest presence in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Even as Trump and his allies praise the immediate results, local law enforcement warns that deeper structural problems remain. <\/p>\n<p>In an op-ed last week, D.C. Police Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2025\/08\/22\/trump-dc-police-takeover-national-guard-crime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> that the federal takeover was &ldquo;drastic but necessary&rdquo; after years of staffing cuts, officer attrition, and what he called a &ldquo;misguided reform agenda&rdquo; from the D.C.

Council must act &mdash; repeal failed reforms, invest in our force, and let us do our jobs.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>For now, the White House is pointing to the 12-day stretch without a homicide as proof its strategy is delivering results in Washington. Whether the gains can be sustained and replicated in other cities remains the central test of Trump&rsquo;s crime crackdown.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pirro marks 12 days with no DC homicides under Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2678,"featured_media":2478563,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Jeanine-Pirro.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[61228,32319,4824,38446,57469],"class_list":["post-2478562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-crime-crackdown","tag-donald-trump","tag-homicides","tag-jeanine-pirro","tag-u-s-attorney"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Jeanine-Pirro.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2478562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2678"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2478562"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2478562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2478570,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2478562\/revisions\/2478570"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2478563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2478562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2478562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2478562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
