Washington DC sues after Trump officials' 'hostile takeover' of city police

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : I have heard that just happened," Trump said of Smith's order.
40% : But, as a so-called sanctuary city, DC police would still be prevented by local law from providing federal immigration agencies with the personal information of an undocumented person in MPD custody, including their release details, location or photos, and cannot arrest people on the basis of their immigration status, or let immigration officials question subjects in police custody.
34% : They say Washington has grappled with spikes in violence and visible homelessness, the city's homicide rate ranks below those of several other major US cities and the capital is not in the throes of the public safety collapse the administration has portrayed. Trump earlier praised Smith's directive effectively brought together administration moves on city law enforcement and his nationwide efforts to curb immigration.
16% : Federalized national guard troops were ordered into the city four days ago as Donald Trump declared a crisis of crime and homelessness there, amid outrage from opponents.
