Bowser Defends D.C. Home Rule | Texas News

Mayor Muriel Bowser is sounding the alarm over federal overreach in D.C., calling immigration enforcement and out-of-state National Guard deployments “problematic” and a threat to the city’s hard-won autonomy. One year after a major federal law enforcement presence was installed, Bowser argues it drew unwarranted attention away from D.C.’s own public safety progress — including record drops in crime and homicides — which she credits to local initiatives like the Emergency Operations Center. She insists these efforts prove D.C. doesn’t need federal emergency powers and reaffirms her commitment to protecting Home Rule and residents’ rights, especially their First Amendment freedoms.
