The District Trump of the Colombia Home Rule Act allows the police department to keep the police department under federal control for 30 days.
Washington, DC City Council called temporary acquisition “infiltration built on local authority”.
The council said in a joint statement, “Violent crime in the district is at the lowest rates in 30 years. It is unfair to make the metropolitan police department federal because there is no federal emergency.” “Further, the National Guard has no public safety training or knowledge of local laws. The role of a guard does not involve investigating or resolving crimes in the district. Calling the National Guard is an unnecessary deployment with a real mission.”
