Executive Order

#14252 -- Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful (March 27, 2025)

Highlights

This EO serves as a blueprint for the federal takeover of public safety functions in Washington, D.C., using crime control and urban beautification as legal justification

Key Compliance/Risk Cue

Though framed as a public welfare effort, the structure, scope, and language reveal a de facto federal law enforcement regime over the District, enabled through an unprecedented blend of federal prosecutorial authority, security agency coordination, and local law enforcement subordination.
