In the News…
Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona has introduced legislation that would extend federal control of the Metropolitan Police Department for six months under President Donald Trump. The Home Rule Act of 1973 provides for Congress to authorize an extension of the executive branch’s oversight beyond the original 30-day emergency. The legislation would also eliminate cashless bail.
Representative Biggs stated that the city leadership has allowed the criminal activity, saying, “They have unprosecuted crimes; the Metropolitan Police cannot make all of the arrests they need to make because they have not received support from the D.C. Council and the D.C. Mayor.”
“What President Trump is doing is, he is giving them a pause here and giving them support,” Congressman Biggs added. “When our nation’s capital faces lawlessness, violent crime, and breakdowns in public order, the federal government has a responsibility and a constitutional duty to act decisively.”
