DC Fights Back: Attorney General Challenges Federal Control of Police Force

U.S. President Trump deploys the National Guard and federalizes the Metropolitan Police Department, in Washington.

The District of Columbia has launched a high-stakes legal battle against the Trump administration over what city leaders call an unlawful federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed the lawsuit in federal court on August 15, arguing that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority under the 1973 Home Rule Act when he declared a local crime emergency and placed the city’s police force under direct federal control. The move, announced alongside the deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops, also installed Drug Enforcement Administration chief Terry Cole as “emergency police commissioner,” superseding the authority of Police Chief Pamela Smith.

Schwalb’s filing contends that the law only allows the president to request police services for limited “federal purposes” and does not permit a full-scale takeover. He called the action “the gravest threat to Home Rule DC has ever faced” and vowed to defend the city’s right to self-governance.

The Justice Department has not yet commented on the lawsuit, which sets the stage for a constitutional clash over the balance of local autonomy and federal power in the nation’s capital.
