WASHINGTON (7News) — Tuesday will mark one year since President Donald Trump launched a sweeping federal crackdown in the nation’s capital.

Since Aug. 11, 2025, the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has brought together federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, along with the National Guard, to target violent crime across D.C.

According to the U.S. Marshals Service, the task force has made more than 16,000 arrests during its first year, including 35 homicide suspects, more than 100 known gang members and more than 3,200 people on narcotics charges.

Officials also reported seizing nearly 2,000 illegal firearms and locating 25 missing children who were returned home.

“We will not relent until every community in Washington, D.C., is safe,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.

Officials highlighted several cases handled by the task force, including the arrests of three suspects in connection with the June 2025 shooting death of 21-year-old congressional intern Eric Tarpinian, who was killed after being caught in the crossfire of a shootout in Northwest D.C.

The task force also arrested two suspects accused in the August 2025 attempted carjacking, robbery and beating of a former Department of Government Efficiency staffer.

In January, members arrested three alleged MS-13 gang members wanted on first-degree murder warrants in connection with the shooting death of a 14-year-old boy in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

“When law enforcement works together, the impact is exponential,” U.S. Marshals Service Director Gadyaces Serralta said. “The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force is proof that the whole-of-government approach works.”

Federal officials said the task force will continue its operations beyond Tuesday’s anniversary.
