The District of Columbia filed an emergency motion on Friday challenging the Trump administration’s attempt to take over the city’s police department, and a federal judge is hearing the matter. The lawsuit comes after the Trump administration moved to expand its control of the city’s police department by installing an “emergency commissioner” and revoking policies that limited officers’ cooperation with immigration enforcement.

Democrats introduce joint resolution to end Trump’s ‘lawless’ DC takeover
Democratic lawmakers have introduced a joint resolution aimed at ending what they call Trump’s unlawful and unprecedented move to federalize the Metropolitan police department (MPD) in Washington DC.
Representative Jamie Raskin, the ranking member of the house judiciary committee, DC’s non-voting House delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton, and representative Robert Garcia, ranking member of the House committee on oversight and government reform introduced the resolution on Friday, invoking the District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973.

I hope it's successful. Unfortunately, one Federal judge's ruling doesn't cut it anymore - it'll have to go all the way to SCOTUS and what do you think they're going to do?
It is 100% legal.
It is not. Violates Home Rule.
SEC. 740. [D.C. Official Code ' 1-207.40] (a) Notwithstanding any other provision oflaw, whenever the President of the United States determines that special conditions of anemergency nature exist which require the use of the Metropolitan Police force for Federalpurposes, he may direct the Mayor to provide him, and the Mayor shall provide, such services ofthe Metropolitan Police force as the President may deem necessary and appropriate. In no case,however, shall such services made available pursuant to any such direction under this subsection extend for a period in excess of forty-eight hours unless the President has, prior to the expiration of such period, notified the Chairmen and ranking minority members of the Committees on the District of Columbia of the Senate and the House of Representatives, in writing, as to the reason for such direction and the period of time during which the need for such services is likely to continue
(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this section, such services made available in accordance with subsection (a) of this section shall terminate upon the end of such emergency, the expiration of a period of thirty days following the date on which such servicesare first made available, or the enactment into law of a joint resolution by the Congress providingfor such termination, whichever first occurs.

I thought I'd make it easier for you. I know reading is difficult for you.
You know very little.
Yep, that's what trump lied about before he banged it.
Yeah in which state did he bang you in? In some states sodomy is illegal and others it is legal. I bet you ass is still sore.
I mean - with trump's shlong thrust so deeply down your throat all we hear are vowels.
Nice try but it is in your butt. Fortunately it was in a Blue state so it was legal.
Oh goody - an insurrectionist is going to engage in sedition again. How new and clever.
maybe they can get that traitor fuck Boasberg?
We need you malcontent alt lefties to keep us up on serious shit.
go kill yourself
The Constitution is clear - so an Insurrectionist trying to overthrow executive power isn't going to cut it.
Hmm, if the insurrectionist judge is in DC and engaging in sedition, with the DP Police under federal control (Remember when Montgomery AL police were put under federal control and you leftist applauded?) - anyway, with DCPD under the feds, could the seditionist be arrested? I thing they could indeed....
