The District of Columbia sued the Trump administration and Attorney General Pam Bondi for trying to end local directives that limit cooperation between D.C. police and federal immigration authorities during the Trump administration's effort to take over leadership of the D.C. police force.

Washington

Washington, D.C. has regained some authority over its police department after a federal intervention by the Trump administration. The administration had attempted to temporarily replace the D.C. police chief with a federal appointee, prompting the city to file a lawsuit. A judge's intervention led the administration to partially withdraw, restoring some local control.

Local officials and residents expressed concerns about federal agents' lack of local training and accountability, and noted that the presence of federal forces had not significantly changed arrest totals. The Trump administration maintains that crime remains a problem in the capital, but the federal takeover is now set to conclude within 30 days unless Congress grants an extension.

D.C. sues Trump administration over federal takeover of D.C. police

Washington, D.C., has won back some control of its police department, but just some, as Mayor Muriel Bowser acknowledged late today. MURIEL BOWSER, Mayor of Washington, D.C., Mayor of Washington, D.C. I am encouraged by the judges' remarks and the federal government making the changes that were suggested. One day after the Trump administration attempted to box out D.C.'s police chief and temporarily replace her with Trump political appointee Terry Cole, the head of the DEA, the D.C. Police Department, sued. A judge intervened, and the administration agreed to pull back. D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen says people he represents feel safer with the local police in charge, not the administration or the hundreds of federal agents now manning posts on D.C. streets. It's dangerous, because they're not trained here, they're not accountable here. Our local police department, they are trained locally. They know how to do community policing. We have accountability for that. That's who we trust. The dispute over who's in charge of the 3,000-plus officer police force has risked inflaming an already heated situation. Some protesters have confronted or jeered federal agents. President Trump says D.C. crime data, which shows recent drops in robberies and homicides, is inaccurate, and that criminals are menacing the nation's capital. We're going to take our capital back. We're taking it back. In D.C.'s Congress Heights neighborhood, which has a history of spikes in crime, the deployed National Guard troops and federal agents are nowhere to be found, according to Monica Ray. You haven't seen federal agents or National Guard on your street? We haven't. Why not? It's about power. It's not about crime. It's not about equity. It's about control. Ray said people here are getting frustrated. Federalization is occupation. And occupation anywhere is oppression, especially in the nation's capital. The arrest totals here this week are generally similar from those from the days before this police takeover. When questioned by a judge late today, a Trump administration lawyer acknowledged this one-of-a-kind police takeover must end within 30 days, unless Congress approves an extension.
