Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an order rescinding sanctuary city policies in Washington, D.C. and naming an "emergency police commissioner."

A standoff over the Trump administration’s push to take over law enforcement in the nation’s capital appeared to near a resolution after the Trump administration agreed to let Washington DC’s police chief remain in charge of her department.

Attorney General Pam Bondi tapped the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) chief Thursday to serve as Washington’s “emergency police commissioner,” a move to wrest power from the District’s current police chief amid the Trump administration’s law enforcement takeover.

A federal judge on Friday considered placing a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration's takeover of Washington D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department.

Attorney General Pam Bondi declared on Thursday an end to Washington, D.C.’s sanctuary city era and ordered the immediate dismantling of policies that protect criminal aliens from federal immigration enforcement.

President Donald Trump deployed 800 National Guard troops to the nation's capital as part of a crime crackdown in the city.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has named the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration as Washington’s “emergency police commissioner,” saying she is granting him the powers of the police chief amid President Donald Trump’s takeover.

"Commissioner Cole shall assume all of the powers and duties vested in the District of Columbia Chief of Police," Pam Bondi said on Aug. 14.

President Donald Trump announced earlier this week the decision to federalize Washington, D.C., as he cited crime and violence.

AG Pam Bondi has backed off her initial order to take over DC police, following pushback from Democratic lawmakers and DC residents. Meanwhile, President Trump continues his threats to go after other democratically run cities.
