US EditionD.C. Mayor Bowser welcomes federal law enforcement presence indefinitely
Mayor Bowser's order formalizes indefinite cooperation with multiple federal law enforcement agencies to maintain public safety following the federal takeover, despite local opposition.
- On Tuesday, Mayor Muriel Bowser issued an order to continue President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement presence in Washington, D.C., directing immediate coordination with federal officers.
- With the one-month limit nearing, Mayor Muriel Bowser issued an order ensuring coordination with federal law enforcement after President Donald Trump's takeover, which included the Metropolitan Police Department and thousands of National Guard members.
- Bowser's plan requires federal officers to avoid masks, identify agencies clearly, and share IDs during arrests, while the Safe and Beautiful Emergency Operations Center coordinates multiple federal agencies including the FBI and United States Secret Service.
- Bowser said the surge reduced crime, noting an 87 percent drop in carjackings and recent additional shelter entries, but she faces opposition from eight in 10 District residents.
- Notably, the directive sets no end date and Mayor Muriel Bowser's order makes federal presence indefinite beyond the initial emergency; a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled similar military policing illegal, raising legal questions, while federal officials have discussed surges in other major U.S. cities.
