Federal takeover of D.C. police force ends amid heated political debate

President Trump’s emergency order giving federal control over Washington, D.C.’s police is set to expire—leaving many questions about what happens next. National Guard presence remains, but local officials and Congress are locked in debate over how much control D.C. should have over policing and how the city’s autonomy is impacted. Critics argue this is a power grab, while supporters say it's needed for public safety. The situation is inflaming partisan tensions in Congress. All sides are watching closely as the legal and political balance between federal and local authority gets redrawn.
