United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, on Monday, went off on the out-of-control crime in Washington, DC, and reaffirmed President Trump’s demand that the DC policies implemented by the City Council be changed federally.
President Trump held a press conference on Monday, where he announced that he is taking federal control over DC’s Metropolitan Police Department and authorizing the use of national guard troops to solve the “public safety emergency” in the nation’s capital.
“This city will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals. We will have full, seamless, integrated cooperation at all levels of law enforcement, and we’ll deploy officers across the district with an overwhelming presence,” Trump said.
Trump also called on Republicans in Congress to change the statutes to get rid of no cash bail and “some of the other things” that empower criminals in DC and other major cities across the nation.
“We need to go after the DC Council and their absurd laws. We need to get rid of this concept of, you know, no cash bail,” Pirro added.
“I see too much violent crime being committed by young punks who think that they can get together in gangs and crews and beat the hell out of you or anyone else,” she said, noting that because of DC’s laws and judges, it is nearly impossible to punish a teen for violent crimes.
This comes after Department of Government Efficiency engineer Edward Coristine, AKA “Big Balls,” was severely beaten by eight black teens after he attempted to defend a woman who was being assaulted and robbed by the gang. “These kids understand that the jurisdiction is through the state attorney general, Brian Schwalb… I can’t arrest them. I can’t prosecute them. They go to family court, and they get to do yoga and arts and crafts. Enough! It changes today,” Pirro declared.
Pirro: We all want the same thing. We all want a safe city. We want a safe capital. We want to be able to bring our families here. We want to be able to come and enjoy the history that makes this place great and, unfortunately, we are not in that position right now. And Mr. President, I want to thank you for taking the step that we need right now to make criminals understand that they are not going to get away with it anymore. And I’m not going to stand here and go over and over the cases, but what I can tell you is this: I see too much violent crime being committed by young punks who think that they can get together in gangs and crews and beat the hell out of you or anyone else.
They don’t care where they are. They can be in Dupont Circle, but they know that we can’t touch them. Why? Because the laws are weak. I can’t touch you if you’re 14, 15, 16, 17 years old, and you have a gun. I convict someone of shooting another person with an illegal gun, on a public bus, in the chest, who he meant to kill. I convict him, and you know what the judge gives him? Probation—says you should go to college.
We need to go after the DC Council and their absurd laws. We need to get rid of this concept of, you know, no cash bail. We need to recognize that the people who matter are the law abiding citizens, and it starts today, but it’s not going to end today, because the President is going to do everything we need to do to make sure that these emboldened criminals understand we see you, we’re watching you, and we’re going to change the law to catch you.
My final note is this: These kids understand that the jurisdiction is through the state attorney general, Brian Schwalb. I did a poster of the young man from DOGE, who was beaten bloody, with a severe concussion, a broken nose, and then I did a poster of what happens to those kids because I can’t arrest them. I can’t prosecute them. They go to family court, and they get to do yoga and arts and crafts. Enough! It changes today. Thank you, Mr. President.
