Defend DC's Autonomy: Oppose Federal Takeover of Local Police
Related Article: New lawsuit challenges Trump's federal takeover of DC police department as crackdown intensifies - times-news.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 9:28:32 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: President of the United States, U.S. Department of Justice, and Congress
Goal: Restore local control of the Metropolitan Police Department and protect the District of Columbia's right to self-governance.
On Friday, the Trump administration escalated its intervention in Washington, D.C. by appointing a federal official as the emergency head of the Metropolitan Police Department, granting them sweeping powers. This move, now challenged in court by D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb, exceeds the authority granted by law and threatens the principle of local self-determination. The people of D.C. deserve the right to govern their own police force without federal interference. We call on national leaders to respect D.C.'s autonomy, halt the federal takeover, and restore democratic control to the District's residents and elected officials.
Key Demands
- Immediately rescind the federal appointment of an emergency head of the Metropolitan Police Department.
- Affirm the District of Columbia's authority to manage and oversee its own police department.
- Commit to respecting local governance and refrain from future federal interventions in D.C.'s local affairs.
- Support legislative efforts to strengthen D.C.'s self-governance and autonomy.
