D.C. Officials Push Back Against Bondi's Emergency Police Appointment
TL;DR Summary
D.C. Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed DEA Administrator Terry Cole as emergency police commissioner, granting him police powers, a move deemed unlawful by D.C. officials. This action is part of the Trump administration's broader effort to federalize D.C. law enforcement amid a declared crime emergency, which includes deploying National Guard troops and federal officers, despite legal and political disputes over authority and the impact on local policies like sanctuary laws.
