President Donald Trump met with police and military in Washington, DC, on Thursday to oversee the surge in federal law enforcement and National Guard, who are responding to what he says is a crime emergency in the district. Trump visited the US Park Police Anacostia Operations Facility in Southeast DC, which is serving as the gathering point for all the agencies involved in the operation, thanking officers and members of the military and delivering hamburgers from the White House and pizza. The President spoke for several minutes, touting his anti-crime push. This visit comes a day after Vice President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth made a similar visit to the Union Station, where they were booed and heckled by protesters.
