Trump is placing Washington DC police under federal control and deploying the national guard. He said he was taking “historic action” to combat crime and homelessness in the US capital by invoking a section of the DC Home Rule Act, which allows him to place the DC Metropolitan police department under direct federal control.
Sure crime is down in DC, at a thirty-year low, but that's got nothing to do with it. So besides sending in the National Guard (with more alacrity than he did on 1/6/21), he's sent federal agents out to walk the streets.
Here, you can see six, count 'em, six DEA agents patrolling the National Mall, because it takes that many Federal goons to corral random joggers.
They're not trying to stop drug trafficking or any of that, just out walking the streets at the command of the Demented Dictator.

...and those Feds patrolling the Mall look like a real bunch of spiffy go-getters! Perhaps they should be issued walkers with sirens attached? OTOH, we are no longer making them Return To Office, but instead wander around DC walking off their donuts. At 78, I feel for them
