Arrests under President Donald Trump’s federal crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., have blown past 1,000 as the nation’s capital marked its 12th consecutive day without a homicide, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Monday.
Pirro said that on Sunday alone there were 86 arrests and 10 illegal guns seized, bringing the totals to 1,007 arrests and 111 guns taken off the streets.
"What does that mean? They can't be used to shoot people, to kill people," Pirro said Monday on "Fox & Friends," referring to the weapons seizures. "And on top of all of that, we've got a government now where the people in D.C. are feeling safer. They know that there is a president who's looking to protect them."
Pirro credited Trump’s deployment of federal agencies with reshaping public safety in the capital.
"D.C. was one of the most violent cities in the world, and but for President Trump coming in and bringing in our federal partners… we've got a unified force of people and law enforcement who were going into the crime-ridden areas and making a difference," she said.
"And I'll tell you why it's making a difference. Today is the 12th day without a homicide in Washington, D.C. So far this year, we've had 101 homicides. But for the last 12 days, nothing. Yep. Policing works."
