Senator Van Hollen and Congresswoman Norton plan to reintroduce bills granting D.C. control over its National Guard and police.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen and Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton announced their intention to reintroduce legislation that would give the District of Columbia full control over its National Guard and police department. They claim this move is needed due to President Trump's recent actions to federalize local law enforcement without consulting D.C. officials.
Senator Van Hollen stated, "Trump's raw authoritarian power grab in D.C. is part of a growing national crisis," emphasizing the necessity for the District to regain autonomy over its public safety agencies. Norton added that the proposed legislation aims to enable D.C.'s mayor to command the National Guard, akin to state governors.
The legislation aims to repeal the presidential authority to federalize the Metropolitan Police and would ensure the Mayor of Washington, D.C. serves as Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard. The representatives argue these changes would help reclaim local governance and protect against federal overreach.
