New DC Arrest Stats Spell Bad News For Media’s Latest Anti-Trump Narrative

The Trump administration’s crime clampdown in partnership with local police in Washington, D.C., has focused especially on more dangerous areas of the district.

Nearly half of crime-related arrests in D.C. have occurred in Wards 7 and 8 since Aug. 8, the day President Donald Trump began flooding the capital city with federal law enforcement, a White House official told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The two wards, which account for 11% of the district’s population as of 2020, accounted for almost 60% of the district’s homicides in 2024, according to an earlier Washington Post report.

The reported arrest data contradicts media coverage claiming that the president’s efforts have ignored hard-hit D.C. neighborhoods.

And how does that compare with the proportion before he did so?
What proportion of these new arrests involved feds?
Is the total number of arrests up or down?

The story says more than half the murders happen in these wards, so it's not that surprising that half the criminal arrests might come from there ordinarily. For an article allegedly based on numbers, it's not providing any useful ones to serve as a metric of change.
