Statement on Mayor’s Executive Order Requiring Federal Coordination
With her latest executive order, the Mayor of our city has again signaled her plan to collaborate indefinitely with federal law enforcement, to capitulate in advance.

On today’s presidential announcement
Today’s announcement that the fed government will make use of Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National Guard in DC should concern not only the city’s 700,000 residents, but all Americans. Today our federal government seeks to interfere in DC’s local affairs, but any city could be next.
