Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall thinks President Trump's got the right idea when it comes to tackling crime... and he believes Trump's following Alabama's example! Trump recently announced plans to put the D.C. Metropolitan Police under federal control and send in 800 National Guard troops. His goal? To, as he put it, "take our capital back" from what he described as rampant crime. "This is liberation day in D.C.," Trump told reporters, painting a picture of a city overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people." Sounds like a party we don't want to be invited to! Marshall, eyeing a potential U.S. Senate run in 2026, is all for Trump's plan. He's drawing parallels to Montgomery's Metro Area Crime Suppression Unit (MACS). Launched in June 2024, MACS aims to reduce crime and boost safety in Montgomery and surrounding areas. "Montgomery's MACS unit shows what happens when leaders get tough on crime: safer streets and stronger communities," Marshall stated. "Now President Trump is taking that same no-nonsense approach to D.C. law & order." Governor Kay Ivey also chimed in, highlighting the unit's achievements. "Violent crime is on the decline, and more criminals are behind bars today in Montgomery," she said. According to the city, violent crime is down 30 percent and overall crime has declined 19 percent.D.C. to Get "Liberation Day" Thanks to Trump?
