President Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, said on Wednesday that the administration planned to add “thousands more resources” to its crackdown on crime underway in Washington.

Mr. Miller said this while standing at a burger restaurant inside a train station in the middle of the afternoon. He was with Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The three decided to drop by the Shake Shack in Union Station so they could buy burgers for and take pictures with some of the National Guard troops who are patrolling the train hall as part of the administration’s crackdown. But as the trio of top Trump officials walked through the cavernous train hall, they were heckled and booed by people in transit.

Inside the Shake Shack, Mr. Miller declared that the jeering would directly result in the administration’s throwing more resources at lowering crime rates that Mr. Trump has called “totally out of control” but that have actually fallen sharply the past two years.

“I’m glad they’re here today,” Mr. Miller said of the hecklers, “because me, Pete and the vice president are all going to leave here and, inspired by them, we’re going to add thousands more resources to this city to get the criminals and the gang members out of here.”
