End of Trump’s D.C. Police Control Sparks Uncertainty
TL;DR Summary
President Trump's control over the D.C. police, established under a 1973 law, is set to expire, with Congress showing little interest in extending it. While federal intervention has contributed to a decline in crime, local officials, including Mayor Bowser, prefer more local control. Congress is considering legislation that could further influence D.C.'s criminal justice system, but political divisions may limit these efforts.
