DC Mayor Woos GOP as Trump’s Police Takeover Nears an End
Congress declines to extend President Trump's federal control of Washington D.C. police after a month marked by an 87% drop in carjackings and ongoing debates over local authority.
- The 30-day federal control of the Metropolitan Police Department is set to expire on September 10, with no plans by Congress to extend President Donald Trump's emergency order.
- On August 11, 2025, President Donald Trump invoked section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to declare a crime emergency, citing rising crime despite a 24 percent decline in violent crime over the past year.
- On Friday, Bowser and officials announced arrests and deployment of 2,319 National Guard members, with the White House reporting 72 arrests, including 41 involving undocumented immigrants.
- Legal challenges and protests have emerged over the deployments, with D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb suing to remove National Guard troops, arguing the deployment is unlawful and risks public safety, while President Donald Trump retains authority to order National Guard deployments even after the emergency expires.
- House Republicans plan to advance a package including H.R. 2693, H.R. 5103, and H.R. 5163 to expand federal oversight while troop deployments continue through November 30.
