Less than 12 hours after the Trump administration seemingly replaced Washington, D.C.'s, police chief with a federal officer, the District is headed to federal court to block the move. D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit against the federal government Friday, claiming President Donald Trump has far exceeded the authority granted him in D.C.'s Home Rule Act, the Administrative Procedure Act and the U.S. Constitution. Schwalb is seeking a temporary restraining order and to block U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's Thursday night order naming the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration as D.C.'s "emergency police commissioner" with all the powers of the police chief. It also aims to ensure that Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith remains in control of D.C.'s police department. The lawsuit comes less than a week after the historic federalization of D.C.'s police department.
