Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a two-page order on Thursday rescinding illegal immigration protections in Washington, D.C., and naming an "emergency police commissioner" for the city's Metropolitan Police Department.
Bondi's order, titled "Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia," mostly took aim at sanctuary city policies within the nation's capital, rescinding any order that limits how Metropolitan police officers can handle interactions and incidents with illegal immigrants.
She also stripped power from Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith by naming Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole as the department's "emergency police commissioner," granting him all the "powers and duties vested" in the position.
Cole has the ability to issue general orders, executive orders and written directives affecting all members of the department, and existing department leadership must receive his approval before issuing directives of their own.
Bondi also explicitly rescinded three orders issued by the Metro police within the past two years related to illegal immigration – the most recent one being an executive order issued by Smith earlier on Thursday limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
While Smith's order stated that Metro officers could now assist in "sharing information about persons not in MPD custody" and provide "transportation for federal immigration agency employees and detained subjects," it prohibited personnel from making "any inquiry through any database solely for the purpose of inquiring about" immigration status.
"Members shall not arrest individuals based solely on federal immigration warrants or detainers as long as there is no additional criminal warrant or underlying offense for which the individual is subject to arrest," the order stated.

Now she understands ‘chain of command’.
Perhaps the now-former chief knows the meaning of “chain of command”?
Ha! Perfect.
And I understood chain of command by age 11 or so, a result of being an Army brat and studying military history and playing old school hex grid war games. That this DEI DC chief did not was mind-boggling.
~2 minutes. You’ve got to be *fast* on FR!
Y’all are on the same page in the hymnal for sure.
Biden criticized Trump putting Black officers "back in chains"
Hmmm, it’s strange the hate Bondi crew hasn’t showed up yet on this thread. Maybe they are busing conspiring with the “where’s the Epstein files?” crew. /s/
Seriously, she has a massive job to do in a hostile work environment. All things considered, she’s doing OK. This thread is one example.
Rumor has it when Smith heard she had been stripped of power she said
“ that ain’t true I never be no stripper”.
“Now she understands ‘chain of command”.
And how she’s no longer a part of it.

Now I want to see this AG’s order used as the model for cleaning out every damned sanctuary city and county in the U.S., including Hillsborough County, FL. which is a damned disgrace with a zero law enforcement Sheriff, run by a Soros-owned state attorney. Hey DeSantis, where are you? Are you watching this? Why have you been so quiet lately?
Chain of command, isn’t that what Mr. T used to wear?
Dealing with illegals better than any other governor except maybe Abbott.
He should pivot his new Lt. Governor to something like crime czar and get the city crime fixed.
I was taught chain of command through interactions with mom and dad at a very young age.
Stay tuned, you may be more prescient than you think.
According to Fox13, the Soros attorney Andrew Warren was replaced by the DeSantis with states attorney Suzy Lopez back in 2022 for publicly saying he wasn’t going to enforce laws he didn’t like. Warren ran against Lopez last November and lost. So any attempt to have him reinstated is moot.

“I was taught chain of command through interactions with mom and dad at a very young age.”
Similar for my nephew when he was about four. Dad told him to do something.
Nephew: You’re not the boss of me.
Dad: If I’m not, who is?
Nephew: Well, first there’s God. Then is President Reagan. You’re not even close.
He soon understood the actual hierarchy of the household.
He became a great kid, a wonderful conservative adult. Now he has three young kids, and it’s no picnic. LOL!
What does that mean?
“ Chain of command, isn’t that what Mr. T used to wear?” LoL !
Great! More of “This is what I voted for”.
