In a bold move, President Trump announced that his administration will seek the death penalty for homicides in Washington, D.C., citing a supposed crime epidemic. However, recent data shows a decline in violent crime in the capital. This announcement raises questions about capital punishment's future in D.C., where it was previously nullified.
Trump's recent claims about Washington D.C.'s homicide rates have been proven false, with data revealing the city is not the most dangerous in the world. Experts criticize the misleading comparisons and highlight significant declines in crime rates.
