- Mayor Muriel Bowser says the police will not cooperate with the ice.
- Trump says The crime would come back “roaring” from non-cooperation.
- The president has already deployed more than 2,000 soldiers in Washington.
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would call a national emergency and federalize Washington, DC after Mayor Muriel Bowser said his police would not cooperate with immigration and customs application.
The question is the provision of information on people illegally living in the United States. Trump’s threat adds to a move that criticisms considered a federal surpassing, with more than 2,000 soldiers who are patrolling in the city.
The comments come after several thousand demonstrators have left the streets this month on Trump’s August deployment of the national guard troops to “restore law, order and public security”, after having qualified the crime of burning on the capital.
“In just a few weeks. The” place “is absolutely booming […] For the first time in decades, practically no crime, “Trump said on Truth Social.
Bowser’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comments on Trump’s position.
Earlier, he had put the Metropolitan Police Department under the direct control of federal control and sent the application of federal laws, including members of the application of immigration and customs, to the police on the streets. We do not know when their mission will end.
Trump blamed “radical left the Democrats” for putting pressure on Bowser to inform the government of non-cooperation with ice, adding that if the police interrupted cooperation with ice, “crime would return to roar”.
He added: “To the people and companies in Washington, DC, do not worry, I am with you and I do not allow it to happen. I will call a national emergency, and federalize, if necessary !!!”
Bowser, who previously congratulated the sharp increase in Trump of the application of federal laws, bringing a sharp drop in crime, previously signed an order for the city to coordinate with the federal police.
The National Guard serves as a militia responding to the governors of the 50 states, except when it is called to the federal service. The DC National Guard is directly the president.
