There have now been more than 100 arrests since Trump began beefing up the federal law enforcement presence in Washington last week, White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said. “President Trump is delivering on his campaign promise to clean up this city and restore American Greatness to our cherished capital,” she said.

The presence of National Guard troops in Washington, DC, is expected to expand Wednesday evening, according to a White House official, as President Donald Trump’s takeover of the city’s law enforcement continues to take shape.

A White House official said a "significantly higher" number of National Guard members are expected to arrive in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. The crackdown on crime in the district comes as police data shows a 26% drop in violent offenses this year.
