Defend D.C. Democracy: Stop Unlawful Federal Takeover of Local Police

Related Article: Capital Clash: Legal Battle Over Trump's Police Takeover in D.C. | Law-Order - devdiscourse.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 11:27:32 AM Eastern Daylight Time

Target: U.S. Congress, Department of Justice, and the White House

Goal: Protect D.C.'s autonomy and prevent unlawful federal interference in local policing.

Washington D.C.'s right to self-governance is under threat as former President Donald Trump faces a lawsuit for attempting to seize control of the city's police force. This action, challenged by D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb, undermines the Home Rule Act and the democratic rights of D.C. residents.

We, the undersigned, stand with the people of Washington D.C. and demand respect for their right to self-governance. The recent attempt by former President Donald Trump to take control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department—despite a decline in violent crime and without a legitimate emergency—violates the D.C. Home Rule Act. This law was designed to ensure that D.C. residents have a say in their own governance, with presidential intervention reserved for true emergencies only.

The transfer of police authority to a federal agency head, following the deployment of federal troops, is a dangerous precedent that threatens local democracy and public safety. We call on federal officials to respect the law, uphold democratic principles, and restore local control to the people of D.C.
