Fighting Trump’s D.C. Power Grab

The Trump administration’s decision to seize control of D.C.’s police force and deploy the National Guard is baseless political exploitation that could cause significant harm to D.C. residents and visitors.
On a black background with the white ACLU-D.C. logo, a red-hued image of President Trump appears alongside white and red text that reads, "Fighting Trump's D.C. Power Grab."

President Trump’s efforts to take over D.C. streets with federal agents and National Guard troops is a brazen power grab that strikes fear into our communities and further erodes our democracy.

The president has relied on a phony emergency as an excuse to overstep his power and micromanage D.C. The real emergency is the threat that this flood of law enforcement now poses to the constitutional rights of the people of D.C.

At this critical moment, knowledge is power.
