President Donald Trump this week reignited his threat that the federal government will take over and “run” Washington, DC, after a former Department of Government Efficiency employee was assaulted in an attempted carjacking.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo said that National Guard troops would assist in the deportation process for migrants in their custody.

Trump also said Congress should explore overturning the Home Rule Act - the decades-old law that gives D.C. residents some semblance of political autonomy.
