- Mayor Muriel Bowser says the police will not cooperate with ice.
- Trump says The crime would again “roar” of non -cooperation.
- The president has already deployed more than 2,000 troops in Washington.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said on Monday that he would call a national and federal emergency Washington, DC, after Mayor Muriel Bowser said that his police will not cooperate with the application of immigration and customs.
In question, it is the provision of information about people who live or entered the United States illegally. Trump’s threat adds to a movement that critics have seen as federal overreach, with more than 2,000 troops patrolling the city.
The comments occur after several thousand protesters took to the streets this month for the August’s deployment of Trump of the National Guard to “restore the law, order and public safety”, after calling Crime a blight of the capital.
“In just a few weeks. The ‘place’ is absolutely booming […] For the first time in decades, practically without crime, “Trump said in Truth Social.
Bowser’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comments on Trump’s publication.
Previously, he had put the Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control and sent the Federal Police, including members of the application of immigration and customs, the street police. It is not clear when your mission will end.
Trump blamed “Radical left the Democrats” for pressing Bowser to inform the government about non -cooperation with ICE, and added that if the police arrested cooperation with ICE, “the crime would roar again.”
He added: “To the people and companies of Washington, DC, do not worry, I am with you and I will not allow this to happen. I will call a national emergency and federalize, if necessary!”
Bowser, who previously praised the increase in Trump’s Federal Police, which caused a strong decrease in crime, signed an order for the city to coordinate with the application of the Federal Law.
The National Guard serves as a militia that responds to the governors of the 50 states, except when asked to the federal service. The National Guard of DC directly informs the president.
