DC Police Chief Orders Cooperation

Federal agents and National Guard deployed to combat rising violent crime, with aggravated assaults up 37% since 2022, ending Washington D.C.'s sanctuary city protections.

  • On Thursday, Washington, D.C.'s police chief ordered greater cooperation between local officers and federal immigration authorities amid a federal takeover.
  • This followed Attorney General Pam Bondi's reversal of local policies limiting police collaboration with ICE, using President Trump's emergency powers invoked earlier this week.
  • Guard members and federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and Homeland Security deployed across the city, assisting in crowd control, patrolling, and supporting arrests made on Wednesday night.
  • Reports indicated that 45 individuals were arrested Wednesday night, 29 of whom were undocumented immigrants, while Bondi asserted that Washington, D.C. would no longer serve as a refuge for criminal aliens.
  • The federal intervention reshapes law enforcement roles in D.C., signaling a shift away from sanctuary policies and an increased emphasis on immigration enforcement under federal oversight.
