The Democrat plan to increase crime to such a point that the people will cry out for order, meaning a new Marxist order. A Green strike force or national police force. This is their plane. This is why everything Democrats do is to increase crime everywhere.
Here are the main points from USA Today (Much more below, including vid clips)
- The Justice Department commits additional resources to Washington D.C. to address a 40% increase in violent crime and a 35% increase in homicides.
- The resources will also target the 82% increase in carjackings in the district in 2023.
- Attorney General Merrick Garland acknowledges the need for more work in reducing violent crime, especially in Washington D.C.
- Washington D.C. reported 274 homicides in 2023, the highest since 1997, with a 10 percentage point drop in the homicide clearance rate to 52%.
- The initiative is part of a broader strategy from May 2021 to combat the rise in violent crime during the pandemic, similar to initiatives in Houston and Memphis.
- Memphis and Washington D.C. are outliers with increasing homicide rates, while major cities saw declines.
- The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) recovered over 3,000 firearms in both 2022 and 2023.
- A study by the Council on Criminal Justice showed a slight decrease in carjackings and gun assaults in 11 major cities.
- The new plan includes establishing a Gun Violence Analytic Cell with federal agents to investigate violent crimes and carjackings using data analytics.
- Federal prosecutors will be diverted to Washington D.C. to work on cases, with additional local prosecutors assigned to carjacking and firearm cases.
- U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves faced criticism for low prosecution rates, which have since increased to 44% in 2023.
- Specific details on the number of agents, prosecutors, and funding for the new initiatives were not disclosed.

The Justice Department announced today that it will surge additional law enforcement tools and resources to target those most responsible for violent crime and carjackings in Washington, D.C.
“Last year, we saw an encouraging decline in violent crime in many parts of the country, but there is much more work to do — including here in the District of Columbia,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “This surge in law enforcement resources will build on the Department’s efforts to target the individuals and organizations that are driving violent crime in the nation’s capital. The Justice Department will not rest until every community in our country is safe from the scourge of violent crime.”
“We have been surgically targeting and prosecuting those driving violence within our community,” said U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves for the District of Columbia. “The surge of resources to these efforts will allow us to continue to expand on these efforts and to take even more drivers of violence off our streets.”
The additional resources include a multi-component Gun Violence Analytic Cell (GVAC), which is led by the FBI with partners from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Using data analytics, GVAC will identify additional federal investigations that should be opened to combat violent crime and carjackings.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has already charged hundreds of such cases in recent years, including a case announced this week against five alleged fentanyl traffickers, three of whom were charged with firearms violations in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense. The case was a result of a year-long multiagency investigation into narcotics distribution points in the Washington Highlands neighborhood of Southeast Washington, D.C.
To increase the capacity to prosecute the additional investigations generated from GVAC and other efforts, the initiative will also detail federal prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Criminal Division to work violent crime cases in D.C., and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia is moving additional prosecutors within the Superior Court docket to focus on carjacking and both lethal and non-lethal firearms cases.
This announcement builds on similar prosecutorial and investigative resource surges throughout the country as part of the Department’s strategy to combat violent crime in targeted communities. In November 2023, the Justice Department announced a significant increase in prosecutorial resources in Memphis, Tennessee, and in September 2022, the Justice Department similarly announced additional prosecutors detailed to fight target gangs in Houston.
These efforts are all part of a Department-wide Violent Crime Reduction Strategy announced by Attorney General Garland in May 2021, aimed at addressing the spike in violent crime during the pandemic. Since then, every U.S. Attorney’s Office across the country has worked alongside its federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to implement district-specific violent crime reduction strategies. In addition, the Department has also focused on strengthening its national Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative, as well as the National Public Safety Partnership, which makes Department tools and expertise available to more than 50 specific local law enforcement agencies.
All of these efforts are emblematic of the Department’s recognition that the best anti-violent crime strategies are tailored to the needs of, and are developed with, individual communities. – Department of Justice
