Defend DC's Home Rule and Sanctuary Protections: Stop Federal Overreach in Policing and Immigration Enforcement
Related Article: Trump administration to keep DC police chief in place, but under immigration enforcement order - chicagotribune.com - Saturday, August 16, 2025, 3:27:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: President of the United States, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Members of Congress, and Mayor Muriel Bowser
Goal: Restore full local control of the Metropolitan Police Department, defend D.C.'s sanctuary city laws, and ensure the safety and rights of all residents—regardless of immigration status.
Washington, D.C. is facing an unprecedented challenge to its autonomy and the rights of its residents. The Trump administration's attempt to seize control of the Metropolitan Police Department and force local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities undermines decades of progress toward home rule and community safety.
The District's sanctuary city policies exist to protect immigrant families, foster trust between communities and police, and prevent the targeting of vulnerable residents. Federal orders demanding collaboration with mass deportation efforts not only violate local laws but also create fear, anxiety, and instability for thousands of Washingtonians.
We call on all elected officials to defend D.C.'s right to self-governance, reject federal overreach, and reaffirm commitments to sanctuary protections. The federal government's actions set a dangerous precedent for cities nationwide and threaten the democratic values our capital represents.
We urge immediate action to restore the authority of local leaders, halt the use of federal law enforcement and military presence in our streets, and guarantee that all residents—regardless of immigration status—can live without fear.
Key Demands
- Immediately restore full local control of the Metropolitan Police Department to D.C. officials.
- Rescind Attorney General Pam Bondi's order mandating local police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
- Affirm and uphold D.C.'s sanctuary city policies, ensuring no local resources are used for federal immigration enforcement.
- End the deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard troops in D.C. neighborhoods.
- Protect the rights and safety of all D.C. residents, regardless of immigration status, and ensure access to community services without fear of deportation.
- Respect and strengthen D.C.'s right to home rule and self-governance.
