Trump says he will call national emergency again in Washington, DC, if police fail to cooperate with ICE

(CNN) — President Donald Trump says he will call a national emergency once again in Washington, DC, if local police do not cooperate with immigration enforcement.
The president said in a Truth Social post overnight that the move had reduced crime in the district but that if local police do not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, crime would rise again.
His comments come after the national emergency and federal takeover he declared in August expired last week. Trump has said the move, which included sending in National Guard troops, is necessary to fight crime and has threatened to target other mostly Democratic-run cities. But critics have called it a “dangerous power grab.”
