US President Donald Trump had placed the Washington police service under federal control earlier this week.
The administration of American president Donald Trump reversed the course and agreed to leave the Washington police, DC The ministry’s supervisory manager after Washington officials and the US Ministry of Justice negotiated an agreement at the request of a federal judge.
Trump had placed the Washington Metropolitan Police Service on Monday under federal control on Monday and ordered the deployment of 800 national guard troops in the streets of the capital, claiming an increase in crime.
Friday afternoon, an agreement was concluded during a hearing of the Federal Court after Washington, the DC prosecutor Brian Schwalb, had asked for an order from the court blocking the repurchase of Trump’s police as illegal.
Lawyers from the Trump administration have conceded that Pamela Smith, the police chief appointed by the mayor of DC Muriel Bowser, would remain in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department, according to the agreement presented by the two parties to the American district judge Ana Reyes.
But the American prosecutor General Pam Bondi, in a new memo, ordered the district police to cooperate with the federal immigration application, regardless of the law of the city.
Meanwhile, the precise role of the chief of the administration of drug application, Terry Cole, who had been appointed by Bondi as “emergency police commissioner” of the city, as part of the Trump buyout offer, must always be haunted in new talks.
Friday evening, in an article on social networks, Bondi criticized Schwalb, saying that he “continues to oppose our efforts to improve public security”.
But she added: “We remain determined to work in close collaboration with Mayor Bowser.”
Legal battle
Friday’s legal battle is the last proof of climbing tensions in most of the Washington Democrat, DC.
As the weekend approaches, however, panels through the city – from streets to the legal system – suggested a deepening crisis on which controls the city’s immigrant and police policies, the right of the district to govern itself and daily life for the millions of people who live and work in the metropolitan region.
On Friday, the Bowser office said that it always assesses how it can comply with the new leaping order on immigration application operations. The police department has already released certain restrictions on cooperation with federal officials, facilitating the mass deportation campaign of Trump, but has reaffirmed that it would follow the laws on the city of the district sanctuary.
In a letter sent on Friday evening to DC Citizens, Bowser wrote: “It was a disturbing and unprecedented week in our city. During a week, the thrust of the Federal Forces with DC created waves of anxiety.”
She added that “our limited autonomy has never faced the type of test we are faced with at the moment”, but added that if the Washingtonians stay together, “we will show the whole nation what it looks like to fight for American democracy – even when we do not have fully access.”
The police to resume is Trump’s latest decision to test the limits of his judicial authorities to carry out his program, based on obscure statutes and a state of emergency supposed to strengthen his difficult message on crime and his plans to accelerate the mass expulsion of undocumented people in the United States.
While Washington faced visible peaks of violence and homelessness, the city’s homicide rate ranks below those of several other major American cities, and the capital is not prey to the collapse of public security that the Trump administration has described.
The president has more power over the national capital than other cities, but DC has elected his own mayor and municipal council since the signing of the law on the rules of domicile in 1973.
Trump is the first president to exercise his control over the city’s police forces since the act was adopted. The law limits this control to 30 days without approval from the congress, although Trump suggested that he would seek to extend it.
