Summary

On March 27, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to enhance safety and beautification efforts in Washington, D.C. The order establishes the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, which will coordinate with various federal and local agencies to combat crime, enforce immigration laws, and improve public spaces, including monuments and parks. While aiming to make the nation's capital a cleaner and safer place, the order may face legal scrutiny over its immigration enforcement measures and its impact on homeless populations, potentially sparking political debate over federal versus local jurisdiction.
