Trump Threatens to Federalize DC Police Again
from AURN News · host Clay Cane, Jamie Jackson, Ebony McMorris
President Donald Trump is once again threatening to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department after D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, D-D.C., refused cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Trump’s last emergency order put the city’s police under his command for 30 days, with more than 40% of arrests immigration-related. While Trump claims the surge reduced crime, Bowser says, “Immigration enforcement is not what the MPD does. And with the end of the emergency, it won’t be what MPD does in the future.” Congress is also considering bills that would weaken D.C.’s Home Rule.
