Pirro hails Trump's DC crime crackdown as 'blueprint' for America after dramatic results

U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss how they are working to advance the Trump administration's crime crackdown, the government shutdown and more.

U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro says President Donald Trump’s promise to make Washington safer has delivered, with crime falling and arrests in the thousands. 

While Pirro called the administration’s crackdown using the National Guard a "blueprint" for the rest of the nation, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that cities like New York and states like California could lose federal funding if they fail to take similar action on public safety measures.

"When the president said he was going to make D.C. safe and beautiful, he meant it. And the results speak for themselves," Pirro said on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday alongside Duffy.

"When the president decided to go in and do what no other president has done, he did it effectively, and it’s working."

Pirro said thousands of arrests have been made since the administration’s surge of force in the city, with over 500 guns taken off the street and homicides down by double digits.

The change comes after the president shifted his focus to the city in August, sending in the National Guard to combat crime.

Along with the troop deployment, Trump signed an executive order expanding anti-crime measures, including adding additional prosecutors to focus on violent and property crimes, and directing the Transportation secretary to inspect and improve D.C.’s transit services.
