Hegseth DC Ceremony LIVE | Secretary Hegseth Hosts Guard Task Force at Meridian Hill Park WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is hosting a high-profile D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force Ceremony alongside Guard leadership at Meridian Hill Park in Washington, D.C. The event, taking place as the capital gears up for the historic 'Freedom 250' Independence Day celebrations, highlights the ongoing impact of President Donald J.
Trump’s Executive Order 14252, 'Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful.' Since the administration declared a capital crime emergency in August 2025, Joint Task Force-District of Columbia (JTF-DC)—comprising approximately 4,700 Guard troops from 19 states under federal Title 32 orders—has partnered with federal and local law enforcement. Under the strategic direction of Secretary Hegseth, the Department of War has overseen a historic drop in capital crime, with homicides plunging and carjackings down 68% due to the armed patrols and the 'Summer Surge' initiative.
Today’s ceremony at the recently restored Meridian Hill Park honors the mobilization and readiness of these guardsmen in reclaiming safety, order, and pride in the seat of American democracy.
