[NYPOST] President Trump's takeover of Washington, DC, has led to ICE agents picking up child sex offenders, a Tren de Aragua gangbanger and numerous other criminals who were previously free on the streets of the nation's capital, The Post has learned.
''President Trump was clear: he will make D.C. safe and beautiful again,'' a senior Department of Homeland Security official told The Post.
The official added: ''ICE and CBP continue to arrest and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens— We will support the re-establishment of law and order and public safety, so Americans can feel safe enjoying the beauty and history of our nation's capital.''
Feds nabbed Mexican migrant David Perez-Teofani, who was previously charged with aggravated sexual battery of a child under the age of 13 and felony indecent liberties-proposed sex acts, according to DHS.
Tren de Aragua gangbanger Wilker Patino-Solis was caught after he was previously arrested for felony robbery. He also had four previous encounters with federal immigration authorities.
Salvadoran migrant Mario Marquez-Garcia had a rap sheet that included previous arrests for DUI, aggravated assault on a cop with a weapon, assault, robbery, failure to appear and violation of a court order. He also had eight previous encounters with the feds.
The nation's capital saw an unprecedented 12-day streak without a murder Tuesday. And crime stats have been down since Trump stepped in.
In the last 14 days, total crime dropped 11% citywide, with sharp reductions across the board including robberies (-42%), assaults with a deadly weapon (-13%), carjacking (-85%), car theft (-24%), violent mostly peaceful crime (-25%) and property crime (-10%), the DC Police Union said in an X post Monday.
The city's Democratic mayor acknowledged the results on Wednesday.
''We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city,'' said DC Mayor Muriel Bowser in a Wednesday presser.
''The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings,'' Bowser noted, later posting the full stats on her X account.
''We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer,'' the mayor said.
Washington has long been one of America's most violent mostly peaceful major cities — with a murder rate that surpasses reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... and is nearly seven times higher than New York City.

…the remains of another hostage whose name has not yet been released. The remains are currently being identified at the Institute of Forensic Medicine.
Ilan Weiss, the hero of the army, was a member of the local emergency team of Kibbutz Be'eri. He was murdered on October 7, 2023, when he went out to defend the kibbutz, and his body was kidnapped. His wife, Shiri, and daughter, Noga, were abducted and released from captivity in November 2023.
Together with all the citizens of Israel, my wife and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the dear families and share in their great sorrow.
I thank our commanders and fighters for their successful operations, their determination, and their courage.
The campaign to return the hostages continues unabated. We will not rest or be silent until we return all of our hostages home, both the living and the dead.
Israel’s military said it has killed the top leader of the Islamic State group in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF said Muhammad Abd al-Aziz Abu Zubaida, who headed the group’s Palestine branch, was struck in the Bureij area over the past week under the direction of the Southern Command and the military intelligence directorate.
Abu Zubaida held the most senior position within the Islamic State in Gaza and was responsible for setting policy, planning operations and overseeing attacks across Gaza, the West Bank and the Sinai Peninsula.
The group has been involved in fighting Israeli troops in Gaza, transferring weapons and funneling funds from the West Bank into the territory, the IDF said.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
