A federal judge has raised doubts about Washington D.C.'s mayor's plan to sidline the city's police leadership, potentially limiting the Trump administration's ability to assume control of the department. The judge suggested that the appointment of a new head of the Metropolitan Police Department could be blocked if it is seen as an attempt to circumvent the mayor's authority. This move comes amid concerns over the Trump administration's attempt to exert influence over local law enforcement. The ruling has significant implications for the city's police leadership and governance structure.
