Trump Establishes Task Force to Address Crime and Beautify Washington, D.C.

The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force will enhance public safety, enforce immigration laws, and improve urban cleanliness in the nation’s capital.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 27, 2025, creating the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force to tackle public safety concerns and urban beautification.
The task force aims to increase law enforcement presence, enforce quality-of-life laws, and assist in recruiting and retaining police officers to address staffing shortages.
It will focus on immigration enforcement, including deporting undocumented migrants and monitoring D.C.'s sanctuary-city policies for compliance with federal laws.
Urban beautification efforts include restoring federal buildings, removing graffiti, clearing homeless encampments on federal lands, and maintaining public spaces.
The task force will coordinate with federal and local agencies, including the FBI and Homeland Security, to implement these initiatives effectively.
