The suit, filed in federal court, is the biggest pushback from city officials since President Donald Trump invoked a provision of the Home Rule Act — the 1970s law that allows for limited self-governance by D.C.’s government — which allows the president to request MPD’s services to address “special conditions of an emergency nature.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin introduced a joint resolution that would terminate emergency federal control of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Alec Baldwin reacted with alarm to Trump's federal takeover of the D.C. police saying Trump's 'insane moves' are to 'deflect from his inadequacy.'
