President Trump on Monday threatened to declare a national emergency and federalize Washington, D.C., over its Democrat mayor saying the city would end its cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Last month, Trump deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement agencies to D.C. and federalized the city's police department to crack down on crime. The 30-day order ended last week, at which time Mayor Muriel Bowser said the district woul end its ICE cooperation.
However, the city government is now pushing back on Trump, suing over the deployment of the Guard, and ending its cooperation with ICE, according to the president.
