Last week, Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser shocked Democrats and their media allies by acknowledging that Trump’s crackdown on crime in the city was helpful and effective.
The one issue that liberals have held onto is that Trump’s DC takeover was only in effect for 30 days, unless he declared an emergency.
Now, Muriel Bowser has issued an executive order for local law enforcement to work with federal officials indefinitely, which means Trump does not have to declare an emergency. She clearly thinks this arrangement is working well.
This is a huge win for Trump but more importantly, a massive win for the people who live and work in the city.
Breitbart News reports:
Mayor Muriel Bowser Directs D.C. Police to Coordinate with Federal Law Enforcement Indefinitely
Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) issued an executive order Tuesday directing the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to work and cooperate with federal law enforcement officials indefinitely.
A press release from Bowser’s office stated that the mayor’s order “continues the work of the Safe and Beautiful Emergency Operations Center (SBEOC) in managing the District’s response to the Safe and Beautiful Task Force,” which was established by President Donald Trump.
The order from Bowser comes as Trump in early August announced that he was “officially invoking section 740 of the district of Columbia Home Rule Act” and that the MPD would be placed under “direct federal control.” Trump also activated the National Guard.
The SBEOC “will manage the District’s response, coordinate centralized communications, and ensure coordination with federal law enforcement to the maximum extent allowable by law within the District,” according to the press release.
This is amazing.
Today, I issued Mayor’s Order 2025-090 to provide the pathway forward beyond the Presidential emergency.

The success of Trump’s approach in Washington, DC is going to make it impossible for the left to argue that it should not be applied in other cities with a massive crime problem.
