Action Alert: Stop Trump From Extending Control Over D.C. Police Americans, we are watching a dangerous overreach unfold in Washington D.C. President Trump has already seized control of the Metropolitan Police Department and secured a 30-day extension under the D.C. Home Rule Act. This law was meant for true emergencies, not political stunts. Violent crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low. There is no emergency, only an attempt to expand presidential power in our nation’s capital. If we allow him to extend this control beyond 30 days, we set a precedent for future presidents to take over local police whenever they want. We must act now to demand Congress end this takeover after 30 days and close the loopholes that made it possible. 📞 @everyone Call These Committees TODAY Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee 202 224 4751 House Oversight & Accountability Committee 202 225 5074 EXT 2 Tell them: “I’m calling because the president has taken control of D.C. police under the D.C. Home Rule Act and already has a 30-day extension. Crime is at historic lows, so this is not a valid emergency. Congress must stop any further extension and take action to prevent abuse of this law in the future.” Your voice matters. Every call sends a message that Americans will not accept authoritarian control over local law enforcement. Call now.
