‘Lawless city’: Trump seeks to extend federal control of Washington DC police
United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would ask the Republicans in the US Congress to extend the federal control of Washington city's police force beyond thirty days.
This comes a day after the US President activated National Guard troops, assuming control of Washington, DC's police department, after announcing a “criminal emergency ” in the US capital.
Trump further said that any congressional action could also serve as a model for other cities in the US, while not elaborating on how the takeover of Washington's metropolitan police department could be replicated.
The US President has, in the past, threatened to expand federal control to Democratic-run cities like Chicago, while claiming that these had failed to address crimes.
Trump took federal control на полицията във Вашингтон според Закона за ръководството на дома на Колумбия, федерален закон, който разрешава на президента да го прави до 30 дни при незабавна обстановка.
