The people of the District of Columbia deserve dignity, respect, and self-determination. Join our movement to win it. #FreeDC
Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's "brazen usurpation" of the city's authority by trying to take control of its police. They argue it exceeds President Trump's authority under the Home Rule Act, which granted D.C. its degree of self-government. nyti.ms/3HDCNT7
The outcome of today’s hearing is a win for Home Rule and upholds the District’s right to operate its own local police force.
The Court recognized that it was clearly unlawful for the Administration to try to seize control of MPD.
Chief Smith and Mayor Bowser rightfully remain in command of MPD.

Making plans to be in the park this weekend?
Many green spaces in DC are federal property and are now places where you are at higher risk of interactions with law enforcement.
Be smart and be safe this weekend, y’all.
DC will not stand idle as this administration tries to take our people and our home.

Protest outside DC MPD over Trump's DC police takeover.
Woman from Free DC, a campaign to protect DC's Home Rule, notes police checkpoints aren't happening in rich areas like Georgetown.
"If that's bit racist, I dunno what that is," she says to claps. "Tell me if y'all see a checkpoint up there."
Reps @raskin.house.gov @robertgarcia.bsky.social @eleanornorton.bsky.social and Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov have introduced resolutions to end the emergency period in DC — and end Trump's power here.
We need Congress to pass these bills as swiftly as possible. FreeDCproject.org/termination
