Border czar Tom Homan alleges President Donald Trump faces no limits on his authority when it comes to making the U.S. safe โ even as critics question the legality of his latest moves.
Press conference

At a recent press conference, Trump cited Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act to assert temporary control over the cityโs Metropolitan Police Department. He also announced the deployment of 800 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., citing what he described as out-of-control crime โ despite reports showing violent crime reached a 30-year low in 2024. Trump hinted that similar federal interventions could follow in other major cities governed by Democrats.

While speaking to reporters, Homan was asked if he feels safe walking the streets of Washington, D.C., at night. โD.C. is a dangerous place,โ Homan said. โI donโt go on the streets at night without a gun. And, you know, itโs dangerous. I mean, we see the crime in D.C., and youโve got the Democrats saying that crime isnโt that bad. Come on. You walk through the streets of D.C. Itโs not safe to walk the streets at night here.โ

Homan noted that the president is determined to restore the capitalโs image. โOur capital should be a showpiece. And President Trump, heโs gonna make sure not only is it safe, itโs a showpiece for the whole world. And thatโs the right thing to do for the greatest nation on Earth,โ he said.

A reporter further questioned Homan about the 30-day limit set by the D.C. Home Rule Act, which requires congressional approval to extend presidential control of the District beyond that period. โDo you think 30 days is enough for that?โ she asked. โWeโll see,โ Homan replied. โPresident Trump doesnโt have a limitation on his authority to make this country safe again. Thereโs no limitation on that.โ
