Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an order rescinding sanctuary city policies in Washington, D.C. and naming an "emergency police commissioner."

WASHINGTON — DC Police Chief Pamela Smith is paving the way for limited cooperation with federal immigration personnel amid a government takeover of the department, according to an executive order obtained by WUSA9 on Thursday.

One in three arrests made in Washington, D.C. this week were tied to immigration-related offenses, according to federal law enforcement data and sources familiar with President Donald Trump’s federally led public safety operation in the nation’s capital.

As the Trump administration sought to commander D.C. police to enforce immigration law, some fear the moves will make the city “less safe, not more safe.”
