The order requires inspections to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >identify unsafe conditions endangering transit workers<\/a> and to assess compliance by housing authorities and landlords with crime-prevention and safety standards in federal housing agreements. It emphasizes addressing criminal activities such as drug distribution, violent crime, and domestic violence that threaten tenants&#8217; safety and peaceful living. If violations are found,the matter should be referred to law enforcement,including the Attorney General and local police. This action is part of broader federal efforts to combat rising crime in D.C., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/civilized-humans-dont-stand-a-chance-in-memphis\/\" title=\"Civilized humans don\u2019t stand a chance in Memphis.\">including increased law enforcement presence<\/a>, deployment of National Guard troops, and a review of police policies. As these measures began, officials report a notable reduction in crime and numerous arrests. <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\">Trump orders Transportation and HUD departments into DC for safety inspections<\/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_2212359\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">President&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump,<\/a>&nbsp;in an executive order on Monday, expanded actions from his administration to address crime in Washington,<\/span> D.C.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/08\/additional-measures-to-address-the-crime-emergency-in-the-district-of-columbia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">executive order,<\/a> Trump instructed the Department of Transportation and Department of Housing and Urban Development to investigate housing safety and perform inspections of transit services that receive federal funds in D.C.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3782358\/fed-governor-lisa-cook-fate-unclear-after-trump-firing\/\">Unclear if Lisa Cook still at Fed after Trump firing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3782258\/watch-live-trump-holds-cabinet-meeting-in-dc\/\">WATCH LIVE: Trump holds Cabinet meeting in DC<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3781939\/trump-fights-fire-with-fire-doj-investigations-political-foes\/\">Trump fights fire with fire with a burst of DOJ investigations against political foes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The order instructs the transportation secretary to look for conditions in transit services that &ldquo;endanger transit workers,&rdquo; and &ldquo;take appropriate remedial action that is within the Department of Transportation&rsquo;s authority&rdquo; to address them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The order also instructs the HUD secretary to look at the city&rsquo;s housing authority and local landlords to see if they are complying with &ldquo;crime-prevention and safety requirements&rdquo; of federal housing agreements.<\/p>\n<p>It specifies that investigators should consider housing providers&rsquo;, including landlords, requirements to maintain safe and sanitary conditions in housing, or else place restrictions on &ldquo;tenants who engage in criminal activity that threatens health, safety and the right to peaceful enjoyment for other tenants.&rdquo; The order specified that this criminal activity would include &ldquo;engaging in drug distribution, violent criminal activity, and domestic violence.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If non-compliance is found, the executive order said it should be referred to the Attorney General, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/d-c-mayor-congress-must-open-a-probe-into-security-failures-at-u-s-capitol\/\" title=\"D.C.
