WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s 30-day emergency order in Washington, D.C., which temporarily shifted control of the city’s police force to the federal government under section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, is set to expire on Sept. 10, WJLA reports.
Federal agents and National Guard troops will remain on the streets through at least November.
House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed he will not push to extend the control order, allowing it to expire as scheduled.
The District has taken legal action in response, filing suit against the federal government and arguing the emergency control order was unconstitutional and violation of D.C.’s right to self-governance, according to the report.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed to over 2,000 arrests made since the surge began in early August as evidence that the crackdown is working.
