Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said on Aug. 27 that crime has decreased since President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops to the city and took federal control of the local police department.

Bowser told reporters during an update on the enforcement surge that she and her officials “greatly appreciate” the added presence of law enforcement, noting that in just 20 days, the number of carjackings had fallen by 87 percent from the same period last year.
