Law enforcement has arrested more than 100 people in Washington, D.C., since Aug. 7 as President Donald Trump federalized the city’s police force and emphasized fighting crime in the area, a White House official told the Washington Examiner.

Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department on Monday as several other federal agencies, including the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Drug Enforcement Administration, Customs and Border Protection, and Park Police, among others, joined in on crime prevention efforts.
