Bondi names DEA head as DC’s ‘emergency police commissioner,’ but capital leaders push back
- Attorney General Pam Bondi named DEA head Terry Cole as Washington's emergency police commissioner with full police chief powers on Thursday evening.
- This directive follows President Trump's federal takeover of law enforcement in D.C. to address crime and immigration concerns amid heightened federal presence since Wednesday night.
- On Wednesday night, authorities arrested 45 people, including 29 for illegal residency, while troops and federal agents increased patrols in key locations like Navy Yard and Union Station.

- The expanded federal role, including 800 activated National Guard members trained in de-escalation and crowd control, aims to restore law and order until the president declares conditions met.
