Trump administration agrees to leave DC police chief in charge

The Trump administration has reversed course and agreed to leave the Washington, D.C., police chief in control of the department after a court hearing. Attorney General Pam Bondi, in a new memo, is directing the District’s police to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement regardless of any city law. Bondi’s new order Friday came after officials in the nation’s capital sued to block President Donald Trump’s takeover of the Washington police. On Thursday night, his administration escalated its intervention into the city’s law enforcement by naming a federal official as the new emergency head of the department.

Bondi names DEA head as DC's 'emergency police commissioner'

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. Bondi said in an directive issued Thursday evening that DEA boss Terry Cole will assume “powers and duties vested in the District of Columbia Chief of Police.” But the capital’s attorney general responded that Bondi's order was “unlawful” and said local officers must continue to follow Police Chief Pamela Smith's orders. Mayor Muriel Bowser says “there is no statute that conveys the District’s personnel authority to a federal official.”
