Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Directs the Enforcement of Death Penalty Laws in the District of Columbia

ADDRESSING HEINOUS CRIMES THROUGH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: Today, President Donald J. Trump took decisive action by signing a Presidential Memorandum that mandates the U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia to rigorously enforce federal capital punishment laws. This initiative aims to both deter and punish the most egregious crimes plaguing the Nation’s capital.

  • The Memorandum instructs federal prosecutors to pursue the death penalty in every case within the District of Columbia that justifies such a measure based on the facts and evidence at hand.
  • Furthermore, it directs the Attorney General and the D.C. U.S. Attorney to make every effort to apply federal jurisdiction to all death penalty-eligible offenses in Washington, D.C.

ENSURING PUBLIC SAFETY: Through the reinforcement of capital punishment laws against the most dangerous offenders in D.C., President Trump affirms his commitment to safeguarding the Nation’s capital for all citizens and visitors, ensuring that violent criminals encounter the severest repercussions under the law.

  • Despite opposition from various politicians, legal experts, and advocacy groups, enforcing federal capital punishment has been a long-standing priority for President Trump, having reinstated rigorous enforcement policies right from his first day in office through Executive Order 14164.
  • This new Memorandum builds on that initial Order, positioning capital punishment as a vital instrument in the broader strategy to enhance public safety, ensuring the most notorious criminals face the harshest penalties.
  • The recent leniency of policies in the District of Columbia has contributed to a significant uptick in crime rates, placing residents, tourists, and federal operations at risk.
  • With a homicide rate of 27.3 per 100,000 residents projected for 2024, Washington, D.C. ranks among the nation’s most perilous cities—boasting the fourth highest rate in the U.S., nearly six times that of New York City, and surpassing crime rates in cities like Atlanta, Chicago, and Compton.

RESTORING SAFETY AND BEAUTY TO OUR NATION’S CAPITAL: President Trump’s campaign was underscored by a promise to restore safety and shine to America, particularly to the capital city of Washington, D.C.

  • Upon his first visit back to Washington since his presidency ended in 2021, he expressed dismay at “the filth and decay” that had taken root during his absence.
  • He subsequently vowed to “revitalize the mismanaged capital of our nation,” aiming to transform D.C. from what he described as a “nightmare of murder and crime” into one of the most beautiful capitals in the world.
  • In March, Trump initiated a task force geared toward beautifying and securing D.C., which included an influx of law enforcement to restore order and improve infrastructure.
  • In August, the National Guard was called upon to assist in reestablishing law and order in the District, utilizing Section 740 of the Home Rule Act as a means of intervention.
  • Additionally, in late August, President Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at abolishing cashless bail in Washington, D.C., as part of a broader effort to enhance accountability within the judicial system.

This rewrite maintains the original intent and structure while adopting a more analytical and engaging tone. It distills the content and presents it as fact-based commentary suitable for a broader audience and seamless integration into a WordPress platform.
