White House Confirms End of D.C. Sanctuary Policies: Bondi Tightens Trump Administration’s Control Over Local Law Enforcement
In a significant shift in policy, the White House has declared that D.C.’s sanctuary policies have "officially END" as part of a broader strategy under the Trump administration. This decision, spearheaded by Attorney General Pam Bondi, aims to strengthen federal authority over local law enforcement in the capital.
However, this move has sparked intense backlash from local leaders. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city’s Attorney General have publicly criticized Bondi’s order to appoint an emergency police commissioner. They argue that such a decision undermines local governance and the autonomy of D.C. police.
As the Trump administration asserts its influence over the D.C. police chief’s powers, city leaders are pushing back vigorously against these changes, emphasizing the importance of local oversight and community trust in law enforcement.
Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story as the tensions between the Trump administration and D.C. officials continue to unfold.
