President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to create a task force for Washington, DC, aimed at tackling crime and illegal immigration — a sweeping action targeting a city he has long derided as violent, rundown and disorderly.
The order says its goal is to “make the District of Columbia safe, beautiful, and prosperous by preventing crime, punishing criminals, preserving order, protecting our revered American monuments, and promoting beautification and the preservation of our history and heritage.”
