WASHINGTON—The District of Columbia sued the Trump administration on Aug. 15 over its takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department.
“We are suing to block the federal government takeover of D.C. police. By illegally declaring a takeover of MPD, the Administration is abusing its temporary, limited authority under the law. This is the gravest threat to Home Rule DC has ever faced, and we are fighting to stop it,” D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb posted on X.
“The federal government’s power over D.C. is not absolute, and it should not be exercised as such,” he said.
