Did Washington have fallen two weeks from Trump’s absorption?

Along with the taxi, who are waiting outside the Union Station in Washington, aiming troops standing next to armored vehicles, welcomes passengers leaving trains.

It is a striking symbol of President Trump’s efforts to combat the “emergency” in the US capital, which saw that his administration imitated the police department on the street and sends troops of the National Guard, the FBI and the ice agents.

Trump says his crime, which began on August 11, had an immediate effect: “The numbers are declining as we haven’t believed, but we believe in it.”

And he claimed that it led to a long period of time without any killings, and, he said, was not noticed in the city.

So what do crime figures show?

The repression has begun since the repression has begun, a significant decline in the violent crime has begun, reports the Washington Police Department (MPD).

He recorded 75 violent crimes Since 12-26 AugustFalling 23% on the previous two weeks.

Property crimes, such as theft and theft of vehicles, fell about a quarter during the same period.

There was a smaller drop in the crime “attack with dangerous weapons” and an increase in recorded “sexual violence”.

US Crime Analyst Jeff Asher says it may not reveal the whole picture.

“Report (about crimes) always lags behind that some of this decline is probably artificial. You will probably take six weeks or so that the incidents’ reports to catch up and make a comparison of the last period.”

MPD figures also indicate that a violent crime has fallen in the city over the last two weeks compared to the same period last year.

Trump has repeatedly criticized police activists – who showed that in 2024 the fall of violent crimes and still in 2025 – but we cannot find cases that he publicly dismissing the latest police data showing another drop during his crime.

US Prosecutor General Pem Bondi has been arrested daily since the permanent current has begun.

August 25, She has published There were 1 007 arrests.

She did not give a detailed pilgrim, but US Internal Security Minister Christie Noah said that almost half were “illegal criminals who were never supposed to be in this country.”

MPD noted that from August 11 to August 25, 2025, he made 1048 arrests – it would also not fail.

The DC Prosecutor General of DC Jeanin Pira told us that 88% of arrests during this period led to charges.

Forensic with caution with reference to arrest as a successful measure of fighting crime.

They emphasize that even if the arrest leads to accusation, the persecution may fall apart or the accused cannot be guilty.

The influence of arrests and allegations was obvious when the BBC Verify visited the DC District Court on Tuesday.

Some defendants have been arrested for crimes, which will usually be considered a lower instance, but are now faced with federal offenses, which usually leads to a longer term in prison.

The lawyers told us that the court is now fighting for the processing of greater load.

We asked for the latest figures that go through.

Judge Magistrate Zia M. Faruki said the criminal justice system “does not continue” when a large increase in federal prosecution is brought.

In one hearing, the judge warned the suspects of detention for much longer than it should be.

“If there is a splash of criminal prosecution, there must be an increase in human dignity protection,” he said.

Assistant to the federal thesis defender both told the court that her client, Darious Phillips, “very clearly fell victim to this invasion of the Federal Agents.”

Mr. Philips was arrested on charges of weapons last Thursday and remained in prison in five days.

The court documents, noticed by the BBC, reported that the FBI and other federal agents participated in the arrest, which allegedly found Mac 9 machine gun.

Judge Faruki said he was concerned that the defendant was now on a “suicide watch” and had not yet had the opportunity to enter.

The prosecutor claimed in court that Mr. Philips remained danger to the public and should remain in a delicate detention, not least because in 2018 he served five years of imprisonment for firing a man at the gas station.

The Pentagon sent 20 military attorneys from his General Lawyer (Jag) to the US prosecutor’s office to help in persecution.

The President also signed a new executive order calling for additional civil prosecutors.

US Prosecutor General for DC MS Pirro said more severe sentences should go hand in hand with crime repression.

In her statement, she condemned Judge Faruki’s comments and accused him of mild crime.

On August 22, Trump told reporters that it was “for the first time in memory that you had no murder for a week.”

It is true that during the week Trump meant that there were no killings (a police term that included both murder and murder).

However, a series without killings is not rare as the president claimed.

DC police officers show that there were several similar periods earlier this year, unless the murder was reported.

It happened this week between May 4 and 11, for example, and over a two -week period between February 25 and March 13.

Trump said on August 25 that there was no “11 days”.

It was exactly at the time when the last murder reported by the DC police was on August 13.

But on August 26, the man was deadly shot in southeastern Washington.
