Under D.C.’s Home Rule Act, Trump has the ability to direct MPD for 48 hours in situations of emergency. Bowser called these powers invested to Trump under the home rule provisions “racist” on Friday.

“I think a lot of us were quite surprised by any notion that the mayor of the District of Columbia could be compelled to turn over a 3,800-person force,” Bowser said. “I think the roots of that provision and the negotiations for Home Rule were racist then, and they are now. I will do anything in my power to prevent that, including not following such a directive.”
