White House: Bondi has "officially ENDED" D.C. sanctuary policies
Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered an end to D.C. sanctuary policies, a spokesperson for her office said Thursday. The big picture: The announcement comes amid a Trump administration crackdown of D.C. that's seen the president deploy hundreds of national guard troops and federal law enforcement and Bondi take control of the city's police force. Driving the news: The announcement was made in a wider directive Bondi issued that saw Drug Enforcement Administrator Terry Cole appointed "emergency police commissioner," enabling him to have the powers of the police chief. The action rescinds an Aug. 14 executive order signed by Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith that enabled officers to assist federal immigration authorities, but which Bondi spokesperson Chad Gilmartin said on X had "enforced sanctuary policies" and "prevented arrests solely for federal immigration warrants," among other restrictions. Bondi also rescinded an October 2023 general order for MPD that Gilmartin said prevented arrests solely for federal immigration warrants. The attorney general also directed the MPD to "FULLY ENFORCE" a sectionof the D.C. Code that "makes it unlawful to crowd or obstruct streets, public or private building entrances, passage through parks, and engage in or continue demonstrations where it is unlawful or after being told to cease engaging," according to Gilmartin.

The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming.'
