WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aimed at safeguarding and beautifying the nation’s capital.
Trump’s order establishes the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, which is directed to carry out a number of different actions on the safety front, ranging from enforcement of laws to helping with officer recruitment for the city’s police department.
The task force is ordered to surge police officers in public areas and to “strictly enforce quality-of-life laws in public areas like drug use, unpermitted demonstrations, vandalism, and public intoxication,” according to a White House facts sheet.
The order also directs the task force to “Maximize immigration enforcement to apprehend and deport dangerous illegal aliens, including monitoring D.C.’s cooperation with federal immigration authorities,” the document adds.
