Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and several other high ranking federal officials are expected to meet later on Tuesday following the executive order issued by President Donald Trump to federalize the district’s police force, according to CNN.
Trump announced Monday that Washington, D.C.’s, police would be put under federal control, and National Guard troops have been deployed after a public safety emergency. Using temporary powers from the Home Rule Act of 1973, the president can oversee the police for up to 30 days, but any extension would need congressional approval or a legal amendment.
In addition to Bowser and Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, U.S. Marshal Service Director Gady Serralta, Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole, and Metropolitan Police Chief Pam Smith would be in attendance Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the meeting.
