President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency in Washington DC and placed the capital city's police under federal control.

D.C. District judge Ana Reyes has scheduled an emergency hearing for 2 p.m. Friday on D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb's request for a restraining order against U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's directive assuming control over the Metropolitan Police Department.

D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith will remain in control of the Metropolitan Police Department after D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit Friday challenging what he called an unlawful attempt by the federal government to seize control of the city’s police force.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed Democrats will fight "tooth and nail" against President Donald Trump's request to extend federal control over D.C. police beyond 30 days.

A person was hospitalized with stab wounds following a robbery in Northwest early Friday morning, according to D.C. police.

While hundreds of federal law enforcement officers continue to roam the streets of Washington, DC today as part of Trump’s ongoing federal police surge in the nation’s capital, DC leaders are taking a victory lap.

Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an order rescinding sanctuary city policies in Washington, D.C. and naming an "emergency police commissioner."

The police chief's order establishes that Metropolitan Police Department officers may now share information with immigration agencies regarding people not in custody — such as someone involved in a traffic stop or checkpoint.
