Trump’s DC Emergency Powers Expire — Fight for America’s Capital Begins

President Donald Trump’s emergency order over Washington, D.C. is ending after weeks of direct federal control. The order gave Trump authority over the city’s police force and National Guard, sparking outrage from local leaders who called it a dangerous power grab.

The debate over America’s capital is heating up, and the battle between local authority and presidential power is far from over.
