On the recordOctober 21, 2025
it is an amazing picture to me to see our Democratic colleagues resisting restoration of law and order in these communities across our country, including in the Nation's Capital--here--where the Mayor, Mayor Bowser, has welcomed the deployment of National Guard to help keep the peace and support local law enforcement in enforcing the law. I won't go through the statistics, but one I remember, in particular, after an episode of carjacking by juveniles who basically had impunity because they weren't prosecuted by the U.S. attorney here in the District of Columbia, the previous U.S. attorney--once President Trump deployed the National Guard, those carjackings went down 87 percent--87 percent. And as I drive through some of the areas of Washington, DC, like Barracks Row, over near the Marine barracks, or Lafayette Park, I see more people out enjoying the weather and the beautiful city that we happen to be in, unconcerned for their personal safety now that President Trump has taken this important, important step to deploy the National Guard.
