WASHINGTON—Across the nation’s capital, business owners and employees offered mixed opinions of President Donald Trump’s push to clamp down on crime in the city.
Trump’s Aug. 11 order to temporarily take over the city’s police department has prompted a surge of law enforcement agents in the city, leading to more than 460 arrests. The president also deployed 800 District of Columbia National Guard troops, who will be joined by guardsmen from six other states.
