The DC Police Union announced on Monday that it is backing President Donald Trump’s efforts to combat crime in Washington, D.C.

The union in a statement to Fox5 said it “acknowledges and supports the President’s announcement … to assume temporary control of the MPD [Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia] in response to the escalating crime crisis.” Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton said in a statement to WUSA that the nation’s capital “cannot continue on” its current trajectory with crime “out of control” and its police officers “stretched beyond their limits.”

“We stand with the President,” Pemberton emphasized.

A top Justice Department lawyer is warning that federal agents and intelligence officers who weaponized their government powers for political purposes could face criminal charges under civil rights laws created to fight injustices during the Jim Crow era more than a half-century ago.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon cautioned in an interview with Just the News that she could not discuss any specific investigations or potential suspect.

But she said recent reports that one or more grand juries were probing the weaponization of government powers against President Trump and his associates or followers might have given good reason for current and former FBI and CIA officials to hire lawyers.

“This, again, goes back to those Reconstruction Era statutes that sought to remedy the vestiges of racism, and we had some terrible incidents in our country's history of law enforcement officials conspiring to deprive African Americans of their civil rights,“ she said in a wide-ranging interview with the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. “And that is where some of these laws stem from."

“But they're broader than that, and so it can be a crime for government officials, either together or in conspiring with non-government officials, to violate people's civil rights,” she explained. “That's also a civil violation. I've actually sued over that in California for pro-life activists. And you know, we have long-standing cases involving these issues, and so I think, you know, government officials may think, because nobody ever bothers to enforce these statutes, that they're immune, and they can do whatever they want."

“Not so, and I think that's why you're seeing some people tongue-in-cheek saying that in DC, every lawyer is being retained …. as these investigations have begun to hit the newswires,” she added.
