Terry Cole, chosen to take over DC's police force, has spent 22 years at DEA
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday named the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Terry Cole, as Washington's 'emergency police commissioner' as she carries out President Donald Trump's unprecedented decision to take over the Washington police department. Bondi said she's giving Cole the powers of police chief and the Metropolitan Police Department must receive Cole's approval before issuing any orders. The move comes less than a month after the U.S. Senate conformed Cole to be the DEA's leader and he was sworn in as head of the agency. Here's what to know about Cole: Three decades in law enforcement Cole was most recently Virginia's secretary of public safety and homeland security under Gov. Glenn Youngkin, according to his biography on the DEA's website. He's spent more than 31 years as a law enforcement officer, including 22 at the DEA. At the agency, he worked in Oklahoma, New York and Washington. He spent time overseas in Colombia, Afghanistan and the Middle East. The agency said he fought drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations. He was the DEA's acting regional director of Mexico, Canada and Central America when he retired from the federal government in 2020. Prior to joining the DEA, he was a police officer in New York State. Bachelor's in criminal justice Cole graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. He has certificates in leadership from the University of Virginia and the University of Notre Dame Mendoza School of Business. Late-night announcement of a new job Bondi announced Cole's new role in a directive Thursday evening. It said Cole would assume 'powers and duties vested in the District of Columbia Chief of Police.' It wasn't immediately clear how this affected Pamela Smith, the city's current police chief, who works for the mayor. Hours earlier, Smith had directed Washington police to share information with immigration agencies regarding people not in custody — such as someone involved in a traffic stop or checkpoint. But the Justice Department said Bondi disagreed with the police chief's directive because it allowed for continued enforcement of 'sanctuary policies.' Bondi said she was rescinding that order as well as other department policies limiting inquires into immigration status and preventing arrests based solely on federal immigration warrants. All new directives must now receive approval from Cole, the attorney general said.

Anchorage prepares for Trump-Putin summit as some pro-Ukraine protesters hit the streets
ANCHORAGE — Over 100 protesters, including many Ukraine supporters, took to the streets of Alaska's biggest city on Thursday night ahead of the highly anticipated meeting between President Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The demonstrators gathered on a popular street corner in Anchorage hours before the Trump-Putin summit in the 49th state — their first face-to-face sit-down in years in which they'll discuss finding peace in Ukraine. But many of the protesters, who appeared to be mainly Democrats, didn't have high hopes over the peace talks and expressed dismay that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wouldn't be present. 4 Lisa Engberg and Jo Bennett hold signs in protest of the Trump-Putin summit. Diana Nerozzi Barbara Hood, who has lived in Anchorage for 60 years, said she brought a large Ukrainian flag with her to make a statement. The flag is supposed to 'send a message' to both Trump and Putin — as she said the Russian leader could make peace 'in an instant' if he wanted to. 'I don't think it's what they're here for, I don't think it's what's going to happen,' Hood said of prospective peace. Trump is set to speak to Putin Friday morning at Elmendorf Air Force Base, where the two leaders will then hold a joint press conference. Trump has stressed that the talks with Putin are the first stage, where he will get more information on what the Russian dictator wants. Then, according to Trump, there will have to be an additional meeting with Zelensky present to get a final peace deal across, where there will likely be 'land swaps.' 4 Barbara Hood and Kathleen Tarr hold a Ukrainian flag in protest of the summit. Diana Nerozzi 4 Maryallen Lambert hold a sign in Anchorage. Diana Nerozzi Maryellen Lambert, another Anchorage resident, shared the view that Putin could achieve peace if he just 'got out of Ukraine.' 'That's all he has to do. Instead, he's probably going to manipulate Trump to try to cede different territories for a peace deal,' Lambert, who attends many anti-Trump rallies with 'Stand Up Alaska' said. 'I don't want them here in Alaska,' she went on. The signs at the protest, which was seemingly only attended by Democrats, ranged from questioning whether Alaska would be next in Putin's landgrabs, to calling for Putin to leave the state. 'Alaska stands with Ukraine,' read many signs. 4 Diana Nerozzi Trump gave a 75% chance of success in speaking to Putin in an interview with Brian Kilmeade Thursday morning — expressing optimism that they could have a civil conversation that would lead to a trilateral meeting with Zelensky.

Trump nominates federal prosecutor to 7th Circuit Court of Appeals
President Trump on Thursday evening nominated Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca Taibleson to serve as a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, making her the sixth federal appeals court nominee of his second term. 'It is my Great Honor to nominate Rebecca Taibleson to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals, for the Seventh Circuit, in the Great State of Wisconsin,' the president wrote on Truth Social. 'Rebecca brings a wealth of EXPERIENCE AND SUCCESS, from her time as Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin and, formerly, as Assistant to the United States Solicitor General.' Trump also touted Taibleson's experience having clerked for US Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Antonin Scalia. Tailbleson in 2018 notably testified in support of Kavanaugh's seat on the Supreme Court. 'Rebecca will make a fantastic Judge who will fearlessly defend the Constitution, and strongly uphold the Rule of Law,' Trump wrote. 'Congratulations Rebecca!' Taibleson has served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin since 2016, where she is also a co-chief for the office's appellate division, according to her LinkedIn profile and the Justice Department. Trump's nomination comes after Wisconsin Sens. Ron Johnson (R) and Tammy Baldwin (D) sent Trump five recommendations for filling a vacant seat on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals that is set to become vacant in October when Judge Diane Sykes takes senior status, a form of semi-retirement. Taibleson was one of five recommendations, though it was up in the air whether Trump would go his own way on his nomination, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 'Ms. Taibleson is an excellent choice to serve as a judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals,' Johnson said in a post on social media platform X praising the nomination. 'I look forward to her swift confirmation.'
