The US Department of Justice on Friday agreed to seek the extraordinary efforts of President Donald Trump to occupy the Colombian police force district, in an agreement with a federal judge in an agreement with city officials.
Under the agreement presented by both sides to US District Judge Anna Raees, the Trump administration’s lawyers admitted that DC Mayor Morel Baiser’s appointed police chief, Pamela Smith, Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department will be commanded.
Under Trump’s takeover bid, US Attorney General Palm Bondi was nominated as the city’s “Emergency Police Commissioner”, the role of Terry Cole, the head of the drug enforcement administration, was still to be eliminated in further negotiations.
A revised directive issued on Friday called the DC Mayor “nominated” instead of instructing the DC Mayor to provide such services to the Metropolitan Police Department, because the attorney general is considered necessary and appropriate. “
According to these services, Bondi’s two -page order, the DC “Sencoreri City” policies will include assisting the federal immigration implementation against the policies of the Metropolitan Police Department for immigration.
The city’s federal cooperation on immigration implementation was an open question in the court order in the court order.
The two sides began talks on the insistence of Raees during a city trial on Friday afternoon, in which Trump’s 50 -year -old domestic role charter in the district’s 50 -year -old domestic role charter was requested to take full control over the DC law enforcement by requesting an emergency clause before the emergency clause.
In a case filed by DC Attorney General Brian Shawlib, a court order was sought in which the occupation was declared illegal.
During verbal arguments on Friday, Raees expressed doubts that the Trump administration had the legal authority to run the city’s police force or that Coal could effectively take charge of the department as its chief.
“I still do not think that the president, through the Attorney General, through Mr Coal, can say: ‘You, the police department, cannot do anything unless I say that you can,” he told a Rais department.
Trump declared a ’emergency’ to crime
Trump said on Monday that he was deploying hundreds of national guards to Washington and temporarily taking over the city’s police to stop what he had shown as an emergency in the US capital.
According to the US Department of Justice data, violent crimes in 2024 targeted the lowest level in the city, which is a technically federal governance district in the US Congress jurisdiction.
Federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the DEA, have deployed agents to patrol the roads and carry out arrests. On Thursday, Bondi issued an order to transfer the control of the police department from the city to the Coal of the city.
Trump, who has advised that he can take similar steps in other democratic -controlled cities, has tried to expand the presidency in his second term, and has admitted himself to the affairs of major banks, legislative companies and elite universities.
In a Friday trial, which in which Trump, Bondi, Coal and others were defendants, accelerated the growing war on the city between Bondi and Baisar, which emerged as the public faces of the power struggle.
The Bondi order imposed a condition that the city would have to get approval from Coal before it could issue a instruction to the police force about 35 3,500. It also tried to recover several directives of the police department, which included resolving its involvement in an immigration implementation.
“It is a threat to the cemetery for the rules of the DC’s house, and we are fighting to stop it,” Shawwalb wrote in a social media post on Friday.
The 1973 DC Home Roll Act is a federal law that established a local government for the district.
This includes a supply of authority to the US President to control the DC police for 30 days in response to “Emergency Special Conditions”. In a 30 -day period, the US Congress can be extended through a joint resolution, in which Trump has suggested that he can find.
Some legal experts say that Trump exceeded his authority, the debate that the text of the Home Roll Act did not have the power to completely occupy the police force’s presidential occupation.
One of the challenges for the DC’s Attorney General may be that the US Supreme Court has endorsed the extensive claims of the Presidential Authority in some cases.
“Historically, the courts have been very excited for the presidential declarations of emergencies,” said Jal Hysde, a professor at the University of Minnesota.
