The Trump administration is prioritizing the removal of graffiti that has marred Washington, D.C. for many years.
Last week, President Trump and other top officials laid out plans to crush criminality and vagrancy, root out illegal aliens, and beautify the nation’s capital.
“Graffiti left untouched to scar public spaces is the visual declaration of a society’s surrender. The graffiti is coming down in Washington, DC,” Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller announced on Sunday.

“We have the National Parks Service going around and getting rid of the gang graffiti that has been left untouched by this city for decades,” Miller told Fox News over the weekend.
“I moved to Washington, D.C. 20 years ago and I’ve seen graffiti on some of our landmarks that has gone unremoved for decades that is now being cleared away.”
The task at hand is a tall one, as large swaths of the city have been defiled by vulgar vandals and degenerate criminals.
On Sunday, Border Hawk White House Correspondent Wid Lyman published a full minute of footage showing just a fraction of the defacement in D.C.’s Union Market District.

Thus far, dozens of graffiti sites across the city have already been scrubbed clean and homeless encampments are being leveled and hauled away.
“President Trump signed the order to Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful in March, and our dedicated U.S. Park Police have been working around the clock since to enforce this directive, clean up our streets, and ensure our nation’s capital is safe,” Aubrie Spady, deputy press secretary for the Department of the Interior, told the New York Post.
Border Hawk will continue to monitor the situation in Washington, D.C. as it develops.
