Two things can be true: 1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; & 2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

According to the WaPo, which got their hands on the next phase of DOGE plans, a severe resegregation of government begins this week. Which, I imagine, will serve as cover for more Musk looting of the treasury. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/…
Screenshot from the Washington Post article, it reads:

In the coming weeks, the documents show, DOGE has planned for the
 Trump administration to trim staff from dozens of offices across the
 executive branch, including those that protect employees' civil rights
 and others that investigate complaints of employment discrimination in the federal workplace. Among the groups targeted are a Veterans Affairs office that works to ensure all veterans receive equal access to care and an office within Health and Human Services that provides information
 about the health of minority populations.
 The DOGE team is also looking to place on leave, and ultimately fire,
 scores of government employees who do not work in DEI roles but who
 perform functions that DOGE determined were related to DEI, the
 documents show. It is unclear precisely how DOGE intends to decide
 whether employees' jobs are tied to DEI. Such a strategy will push, if not
 violate, the law and could draw legal challenge, team members wrote in the documents.

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin
TRUMP'S DANGEROUS
FREEZE OF AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROL
HIRING
Washington, D.C. — Today, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Aviation Steve Cohen (D-TN) released the following statements after President Trump froze the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers, among other safety-critical positions.
"The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 directs the Administration to hire the maximum number of air traffic controllers. That's what the law says, so the Administration must rescind this ridiculous executive order," Ranking Member Larsen said. "Hiring air traffic controllers is the number one safety issue according to the entire aviation industry. Instead of working to improve aviation safety and lower costs for hardworking American families, the Administration is choosing to spread bogus DEl claims to justify this decision. I'm not surprised by the President's dangerous and divisive actions, but the Administration must reverse course. Let's get back to aviation safety and allow the FAA to do its job protecting the flying public."
"Our top priority must be the safety of the flying public so an order freezing the hiring of air traffic controllers is a misguided decision and goes against the directives of our
FAA Reauthorization bill," Ranking Member Cohen said. "The aviation community will speak with one voice in condemning this short-sighted policy and reaffirm our
