Trump introduces death penalty in Washington DC

President Donald Trump has introduced the death penalty in Washington DC to combat violent crime. He signed a proclamation directing prosecutors to seek capital punishment in serious cases like murder. Trump emphasized, “Capital punishment, capital city,” and asserted that safety for visitors is a priority.

He believes his efforts, including deploying the National Guard and federal law enforcement, have made DC the “safest” city in the nation. His initiative also involves removing homeless individuals from the capital. The proclamation mandates federal officials to enforce capital punishment in the district. Trump plans to extend this approach to other cities, including Memphis, Chicago, and LA.
