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

The development came after Washington, D.C.'s attorney general filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department.

As the Trump administration sought to commander D.C. police to enforce immigration law, some fear the moves will make the city “less safe, not more safe.”

In a strongly worded letter, the country’s chief law enforcement officer gave the governor an Aug. 19 deadline to respond.

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.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser pushed back on the order, saying "there is no statute that conveys the District’s personnel authority to a federal official."

Nearly 200 arrests made in Washington D.C. including homicide suspects and drug traffickers after Trump federalized Metropolitan Police Department.
