President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to declare a national emergency in Washington DC after Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that DC police will no longer cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
Last month Trump declared a crime emergency in the nation's capitol - with a 30-day federal takeover beginning on Aug. 11, which included federal law enforcement and National Guard troops to combat crime in the city.
With that 30 day emergency now over, Trump said Bowser had notified the administration that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) will end its cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which Trump strongly opposes.

"The Federal Government, under my auspices as President of the United States of America, has stepped into the complete criminal mess that was Washington, D.C., our Nation’s Capital," Trump posted to Truth Social. "Because of this, D.C. has gone from one of the most dangerous and murder ridden cities in the U.S.A., and even around the world, to one of the safest — in just a few weeks."
According to Trump, "crime would come roaring back" if the MPD stops cooperating with ICE, and said he would federalize the police department again if he feels its necessary.
