Trump Says DC Won’t Be Reverting Back To A Sanctuary City Under His Watch

President Donald Trump declared Monday that he “won’t allow” the nation’s capital to fall back into being a sanctuary city that refuses to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Trump is prepared to call a national emergency and federalize Washington, D.C.’s police force again, he announced in a Truth Social post. The declaration came after Mayor Muriel Bowser publicly suggested that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) would no longer cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) now that the president’s first emergency order has expired.

“D.C. has gone from one of the most dangerous and murder ridden cities in the U.S.A., and even around the World, to one of the safest – In just a few weeks,” Trump said on social media, boasting of the drop in crime during his federal takeover of the country’s capital city.

“It has been a beautiful thing to watch but, now, under pressure from the Radical Left Democrats, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has presided over this violent criminal takeover of our Capital for years, has informed the Federal Government that the Metropolitan Police Department will no longer cooperate with ICE in removing and relocating dangerous illegal aliens,” the president continued.

If this sanctuary policy of non-cooperation were to return, crime would come “roaring” back into the city, Trump wrote. He said he stood with the “people and businesses” in not allowing this to happen.

“I’ll call a National Emergency, and Federalize, if necessary!!!” the president declared. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Bowser’s office did not respond to a request for comment from the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.
