Protect D.C.'s Autonomy: Stop Federal Overreach in Local Policing

Related Article: Justice Department to remove emergency D.C. police chief and rewrite Bondi order on ICE cooperation (Video) - socialnews.xyz - Friday, August 15, 2025, 6:58:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time

Target: U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General

Goal: We call on the Department of Justice to immediately reverse its takeover of D.C. police, restore local control, and respect the District's autonomy.

The recent federal takeover of the District of Columbia's police force undermines local governance and threatens the rights of D.C. residents. The Justice Department's actions, including the removal of the emergency D.C. police chief and rewriting of the Bondi order on ICE cooperation, violate federal law and set a dangerous precedent for federal interference in local affairs.

The District of Columbia has taken a stand against the Trump administration's unprecedented federal takeover of its police force, filing a lawsuit that highlights violations of federal law and the fundamental principle of local self-governance. The Justice Department's removal of the emergency D.C. police chief and its attempt to rewrite the Bondi order to force cooperation with ICE undermine public trust and threaten the safety and rights of D.C. residents.

Federal overreach into local policing not only disregards the will of D.C.'s elected officials and residents, but also opens the door to further abuses of power and erosion of civil liberties. We demand that the Department of Justice respect the autonomy of the District of Columbia, restore local control over policing, and halt any efforts to coerce local law enforcement into federal immigration enforcement actions.
