D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb are forcefully rejecting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s late-night order attempting to sideline the local D.C. police chief, calling it unlawful and beyond federal authority.

The Trump administration agreed to leave the D.C. police chief in control of the department, but the District’s police were ordered to aid immigration efforts.

President Donald Trump deployed 800 National Guard troops to the nation's capital as part of a crime crackdown in the city.

The Republican governors of three states are deploying hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington at the request of the Trump administration.
