In an unusual turn of events, Washington D.C., once famously described by some as a haven of chaos and disarray, is seeing improvements in crime rates. Reports indicate a general downward trend in crime since 2023. Specifically, murder rates were down 11% through July 2025 compared to the previous year, and there have been significant reductions in aggravated and gun assaults since their peaks in 2021-2023.
However, the details surrounding an alleged operation involving the National Guard, federal agents, and ICE operatives taking charge in a crime control crackdown, resulting in 500 arrests, is fabricated. There is no verifiable evidence of such operations taking place.
Additionally, JD Vance is not the Vice President of the United States; he serves as a U.S. Senator from Ohio. Also, no evidence supports the claim of a visit by Vance, accompanied by “Secretary Hearath” and Steven Miller, to Union Station. Steven Miller is not currently serving as Deputy Chief of Staff, and “Secretary Hearath” is a fictional character.
Furthermore, the presence of Secret Service snipers on Union Station’s rooftop during this alleged visit is not corroborated by reliable sources. The purported speech by Steven Miller, addressing protesters at Union Station and criticizing them as “relics of a bygone era,” lacks supporting evidence. The characterization of protesters and events described is mostly fictional, mixing some factual elements of crime reduction with many fabrications.
