The fallout from Trump's federal takeover of the police force in D.C. continues. Bondi's latest move prompts backlash.

Under the accord presented by the two sides to U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, Trump administration lawyers conceded that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's appointed police chief, Pamela Smith, would remain in command of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department.

The Trump administration on Friday reversed course and agreed to leave the Washington, D.C., police chief in control of the department, while Attorney General Pam Bondi, in a new memo, directed the District’s police to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement regardless of any city law.

DC officials rejected U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's order that Terry Cole, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, be made the “emergency police commissioner” of the MPD.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a directive issued Thursday evening that DEA boss Terry Cole will assume "powers and duties vested in the District of Columbia Chief of Police."
