President Donald Trump has directed federal law enforcement to increase its presence throughout Washington, D.C., following a concerning surge in violent crime, including an incident in which a former DOGE worker nicknamed «Big Balls» was brutally beaten in the streets this week.
Trump signed an executive order in March establishing the «Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force.» Now the administration is taking a whole-of-government approach by deploying additional law enforcement to increase presence and improve overall public safety in the nation’s capital city, according to a source familiar with the plans.
The operation, which will use both local and federal law enforcement agencies, including Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI, DEA and others, begins at midnight on Thursday and will initially last for seven days with the option to extend «as needed.»
Law enforcement will focus on improving safety in high-traffic tourist areas and other known hotspots.

In a statement to Fox News, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced «there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C.» beginning on Thursday night.
«Washington, DC is an amazing city, but it has been plagued by violent crime for far too long,» Leavitt said. «President Trump has directed an increased presence of federal law enforcement to protect innocent citizens. Starting tonight, there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C.»
She added, «President Trump is committed to making our Nation’s capital safer for its residents, lawmakers, and visitors from all around the world.»
The source familiar with the plans noted that stamping out the «out-of-control violent crime plaguing DC» has been an «ongoing priority» for the president and that the move is him delivering on his campaign promise to restore the capital city.

Among the priorities laid out in Trump’s executive order, he directed the task force to deploy a more robust federal law enforcement presence and coordinate with local law enforcement in the District of Columbia, including the National Mall and Memorial Parks, museums, monuments, Lafayette Park, Union Station, Rock Creek Park, Anacostia Park, the George Washington Memorial Parkway, the Suitland Parkway, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
The order also instructs the task force to review and, if needed, revise federal prosecutorial policies on pretrial detention of criminal defendants to ensure individuals who pose a threat to public safety are detained to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Additionally, the order instructs the task force to direct maximum enforcement of federal immigration law, redirecting federal, state or local law enforcement resources to apprehend and deport illegals throughout the area.

Eric Adams drops out of NYC mayoral race as Mamdani gains ground

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of the city’s mayoral race on Sunday, halting his re-election campaign just five weeks before Election Day.
Adams announced his decision in a nearly nine-minute video posted on social media, offering no clues about his plans after leaving office.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI LANDS KEY ENDORSEMENT IN NEW YORK CITY MAYORAL RACE
«It’s been an honor to be your mayor,» Adams said in his announcement, as he highlighted what he described as achievements related to crime reduction, housing affordability and economic recovery during his time in office.

«And yet despite all that we have achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign,» he said, adding that he was unable to raise the funds for a «serious campaign.»
The move followed weeks of speculation he might clear the way for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a contest where Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has gained momentum.

Adams has also trailed both Mamdani and Cuomo significantly in campaign fundraising and spending.
Mamdani framed Adams’ exit as a pivotal moment, pledging that voters in November will «turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas.»
«Donald Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo’s actions but they will not dictate the results of this election,» Mamdani wrote in a statement.

Meanwhile, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa’s campaign framed him as the strongest challenger to Mamdani.
«Curtis Sliwa is the only candidate who can defeat Mamdani. Our team, our resources, and our funding are unmatched,» campaign spokesperson Daniel Kurzyna wrote in a statement.
Cuomo’s campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Adams’ exit comes as New York City eyes the potential election of 33-year-old democratic socialist upstart Mamdani.
Mamdani’s ascent has drawn national notice: President Donald Trump told reporters earlier this month he’d «like to see two people drop out» of the NYC mayoral race to improve the chances of beating Mamdani.

The Trump administration has slammed Mamdani’s economic agenda, casting it as a threat to business and growth. The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Mamdani has placed affordability at the center of his campaign to lead America’s largest city, pitching ideas such as free buses, city-owned grocery stores, and rent freezes for tenants in rent-stabilized apartments.

Those proposals have energized progressive voters but rattled Wall Street, where executives warn they could drive investment out of New York and weaken the city’s tax base.
TREASURY’S BESSENT WARNS NYC: NO BAILOUT UNDER MAMDANI – ‘DROP DEAD’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that Mamdani’s proposals risk driving New York City into financial crisis, warning that if the city turns to Washington for a bailout, it won’t receive one.
«You can’t enact policies like this and expect to be bailed out,» Bessent said during an interview with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on «Mornings with Maria.»

«And are you going to give them that bailout?» Bartiromo pressed.
«It will be the same thing that Gerald Ford said. Drop dead,» Bessent said.

Rodrigo Paz, candidato a presidente de Bolivia: “Voy a gobernar para todos, sin crisis económica y con plena vigencia de la justicia”

(Desde Washington, Estados Unidos) Rodrigo Paz es consciente de su responsabilidad institucional: sabe que si vence a su adversario Jorge Quiroga en la segunda vuelta del 19 de octubre, será el líder de un cambio histórico en Bolivia. Atrás quedaría un proyecto geopolítico urdido por Evo Morales y Luis Arce, que actuaron como proxies regionales de China, Irán y Rusia.
Ese proyecto apoyado por Beijing, Teherán y Moscú no sólo tuvo implicancias en América Latina, sino profundas consecuencias en la política doméstica. Bolivia sufre una crisis económica sin antecedentes, en un país que se caracterizaba por sus riquezas energéticas.
“Habrá combustible inmediato para toda Bolivia, y voy a plantear una reforma a los combustibles que sea sostenida y bien focalizada”, explicó Paz a Infobae.
El gobierno de Arce deja en la vera del camino a miles de camioneros, con su obvio impacto en el abastecimiento cotidiano. El candidato del Partido Demócrata Cristiano ganó -por sorpresa- en la primera vuelta rumbo al balotaje, con su discurso electoral vinculado a las necesidades básicas de la sociedad boliviana.

Pero en sus 72 horas en DC, Paz también explicó su agenda internacional, asumiendo que América Latina es clave para los Estados Unidos.
El candidato mantuvo reuniones con funcionarios del Departamento de Estado, la Secretaría del Tesoro y el Congreso. Bolivia es una preocupación para Washington, y Paz dejó en claro que los actuales alineamientos diplomáticos e ideológicos de Arce -y en su momento Morales- serán descartados si vence en los comicios del 19 de octubre.
“Mi relación con Donald Trump será cordial y esperemos que cercana, siempre buscando que cualquier relación sea lo mejor para Bolivia”, sostuvo Paz.

A continuación, el reportaje exclusivo que Paz ofreció a Infobae:
-¿Si gana las elecciones, cuáles serían sus primeras tres medidas de gobierno vinculadas a la política doméstica?
-Combustible disponible inmediato para toda Bolivia, que incluya una reforma de subsidios a los combustibles, sostenible y bien focalizada con compensaciones desde el día uno de mi gobierno.
-¿Y a continuación?
-La reducción del déficit fiscal. De 3 a cuatro puntos porcentuales.
-¿Y la tercera medida urgente?
-Unificación cambiaria a favor de la población: una sola cotización, según las reservas, con coordinación fiscal y monetaria.
–¿Cómo cree que reaccionará la sociedad boliviana con esas medidas económicas?
-Nosotros somos los únicos que garantizamos gobernabilidad y una unidad de todos los bolivianos. Sabemos que nos acompañará el pueblo, no tengo dudas de ello.
-¿Usted propone un plan de ajuste?
–No será un ajuste sólo para hacer un ajuste. Yo voy a implementar un capitalismo para todos, un capitalismo con mucha sensibilidad social y comprensión de las diferencias.
-Si usted triunfa, se encontrará con un escenario político vinculado a casos de corrupción. Habrán sido 20 años de un proyecto hegemónico, adonde se denunciaron negociados y vínculos muy profundos con el narcotráfico. En este contexto, ¿cómo piensa actuar?
–En mi gobierno habrá justicia por igual para todos los ciudadanos. No habrá amnistías ni salvoconductos. Todos deberán hacerse cargo de enfrentar la justicia , y como presidente voy a respetar sus fallos.
-¿Cómo imagina su relación con la oposición, y más que nada con la estructura política controlada Evo Morales y Luis Arce?
-La mayor parte de la oposición nos acompañó al viaje que hicimos a Estados Unidos, por lo que han entendido muy bien que debemos trabajar en conjunto y enfrentar esta crisis.
-¿Y con Arce y Morales cómo hará?
-Con respecto a Evo y Arce, su estructura política está diezmada, solo tendrán 8 diputados de 130. Los que van a tener que pensar cómo se relacionarán, son ellos.
-¿Cómo analiza la situación de América Latina?
-Compleja, atravesando un momento crítico por lo que representa Venezuela y sus socios, y la resolución de este caso puntualmente.
¿Cómo será su relación con Nicolás Maduro?
–No tendremos ningún tipo de relación con Maduro. Sí tendremos relaciones con el pueblo de Venezuela, y en especial cuando finalmente esté instaurado un gobierno legítimo.
-¿Qué opina de la decisión de Donald Trump de combatir los carteles de la droga que operan en Venezuela? Por ejemplo, el Cartel de los Soles.
-Muy bien. El narcotráfico es un flagelo que trasciende fronteras y hay que enfrentarlo.
¿Cómo será su relación con Donald Trump?
-Cordial y esperemos que cercana, siempre buscando que cualquier relación sea lo mejor para Bolivia.
-¿Y con el Cono Sur?
-Vamos a tener relación con todos. Primará la diplomacia, no la ideología. Bolivia se abrirá al mundo. Esa es mi idea, mi concepto de la política exterior.
