DC Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith issued an order Friday giving her cops the power to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of suspected illegal immigrants not in MPD custody — including those pulled over for traffic violations.
. . .
On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order federalizing the MPD for 30 days and designating Attorney General Pam Bondi as his point person to oversee the department.
. . .
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has claimed that Smith still reports to her, while Bondi will “request services from me” in keeping with the 1973 Home Rule Act, which gives the president emergency powers over the nation’s capital in addition to providing the district with limited self-government.
. . . . .
Interesting times indeed.
