U.S. Marshals Service Director Gady Serralta on Wednesday said President Trump’s D.C. takeover is reducing rampant crime that residents have been forced to experience for more than four decades.

“These are folks that have been living this for 40 years, 40 years of having to live in fear,” Serralta said during a Wednesday evening appearance on NewsNation’s “Cuomo.”

“And this is the capital of the United States. We should never accept that the capital of the United States is a location where you can get robbed, mugged, raped. You know, that’s just not acceptable,” he added, noting the goal is to “stamp out crime completely.”
