How crazy is it that the police in the District Of Columbia, the seat of US government, know who the illegal aliens are in their sector and had been actively hiding people who broke federal law. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the average officer liked doing that, they were just forbidden from sharing the information by their crazy superiors
DC police to share information with federal immigration officers
Washington, DC, Police Chief Pamela Smith signed an executive order Thursday allowing DC police officers to share information about people not in their custody with federal immigration enforcement agencies such as ICE — as President Donald Trump continues his federal takeover of law enforcement in the nation’s capital and crackdown on illegal immigration.
Along with providing information in situations like traffic stops, the order also allows DC police to assist federal law enforcement agencies with transporting personnel and detainees.
However, the order — citing DC law and police code of conduct — continues to prohibit officers from looking through police databases solely for a person’s immigration status, from making inquiries about a person’s immigration status “for the purpose of determining whether they have violated the civil immigration laws or for the purpose of enforcing civil immigration laws” and from arresting anyone based only on federal immigration warrants.
DC police also may not provide any information about a person in DC police’s custody or allow federal immigration enforcement agents to question them.
Smith may think she’s taking a middle ground, trying to protect the “home ground” and the illegals in our nation’s capitol, but, she forgets that DC government operates at pleasure of the federal government. Ultimately, it is Los Federales who have complete control over D.C.
Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a two-page order on Thursday rescinding illegal immigration protections in Washington, D.C., and naming an “emergency police commissioner” for the city’s Metropolitan Police Department.
Bondi’s order, titled “Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia,” mostly took aim at sanctuary city policies within the nation’s capital, rescinding any order that limits how Metropolitan police officers can handle interactions and incidents with illegal immigrants.
She also stripped power from Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith by naming Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole as the department’s “emergency police commissioner,” granting him all the “powers and duties vested” in the position.
This is entirely legal. The Constitution granted the Legislative Branch full control of D.C. There have been a few laws passed investing the Executive Branch with some power over D.C. operations, including control of the DC National Guard. Remember, in 1973 Congress passed the Home Rule Act, creating the current government of D.C. Congress is still ultimately in charge, and then you have this
Furthermore, the Home Rule Act grants the President authority to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under “emergency conditions”. Though rarely contemplated, this represents an ultimate check on local authority.
Police officers protecting illegals? That’s ended for now. Moonbat DEI’s in charge of the D.C. police? That’s over for now.

D.C. Sues Trump Administration Over Takeover of City
The District of Columbia government filed a lawsuit on Friday challenging the Trump administration’s “brazen usurpation” of the city’s authority by trying to take control the D.C. Police Department, in a marked escalation of tensions between local and federal authorities in the nation’s capital.
The suit argues that both President Trump’s executive order on Monday federalizing the Police Department and a follow-up order by the U.S. attorney general “far exceed” the president’s authority under the Home Rule Act of 1973, which granted D.C. its limited degree of self-government.
Blah blah blah. The Time finally gets around to mentioning near the end of the article that Congress invested the President with the authority to take over DC law enforcement per the excerpt above. All self government in DC is, again, subject to the whim of the Congress, much like a teacher allowing the kiddies to pretend they are running the classroom.
Los Federales should take charge of every police force of every U.S. urban area!!
Whether FBI, CBP, DHS, ICE, Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Space Force, it’s time to make Mr trump’s beliefs national – eventually we’ll have a recognized federal police force answerable to the president!!
This would give federal jobs to millions of Americans, solve the illegals problem, solve our rampant crime problem, be a boon to our private prison industry, and drain the welfare state!!!
Mr teach claims DC police were “actively hiding people who broke federal law”. These officers need to be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
