Related Article: Washington legal chief sues Donald Trump over police takeover - Times of India - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 11:58:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: President of the United States, U.S. Congress, Department of Justice
Goal: We urge immediate action to halt the federal takeover of Washington DC's police department and restore the District's autonomy.
Washington DC's right to self-determination is under attack. The appointment of Terry Cole as emergency commissioner, with sweeping authority over the police chief's duties, represents an unprecedented federal intrusion into local governance. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Attorney General Brian Schwalb have both condemned this move, citing violations of Home Rule and the District's autonomy.
Residents of DC deserve the same democratic rights as every other American community. The federal government's actions not only undermine local leadership but also set a dangerous precedent for future interventions in local affairs. We must stand together to defend DC's right to govern itself and ensure that the voices of its residents are respected.
Key Demands
- Immediately halt the federal takeover of the Washington DC police department.
- Restore full authority over the police department to the elected officials of Washington DC.
- Respect and uphold the District's Home Rule Charter and local autonomy.
- Establish legal safeguards to prevent future federal overreach into DC's local governance.
