The fallout from Trump's federal takeover of the police force in D.C. continues. Bondi's latest move prompts backlash.

The head of the DEA has been given the powers of D.C.’s police chief, part of a Trump administration law enforcement takeover that’s bringing more federal agents and National Guard troops into the city.

The agreement relates to the portion of the order that placed DEA Administrator Terry Cole over D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith.

DC officials rejected U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's order that Terry Cole, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, be made the “emergency police commissioner” of the MPD.

Under the accord presented by the two sides to U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, Trump administration lawyers conceded that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's appointed police chief, Pamela Smith, would remain in command of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department.

Terry Cole's future as DEA Administrator depends on recognizing the difference between cartels trafficking illicit fentanyl and MMJ's BioPharma Cultivation developing FDA sanctioned cannabinoid medicines for neurological diseases.

The attorney general cleared the way for the police to aid in immigration enforcement and named an “emergency” commissioner, setting the stage for a conflict with local authorities.
