Administration of Trump appointed DEA chief to serve as emergency police commissioner of D.C.

In a surprising turn of events, Attorney General Pam Bondi has appointed the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as the emergency police commissioner for Washington D.C. The clean-up operation in the nation's capital, a directive from President Trump, is now being coordinated by this commissioner.

The DEA chief is currently at the forefront of the clean-up operation, working alongside the National Guard, FBI, and other entities to restore order in the city. However, this appointment was met with a legal challenge. The District's Attorney General, Brian Schwalb, argued that the police chief is legally under the mayor's authority and cannot be replaced by federal appointment. As a result, no "emergency police chief" was installed, and the current police chief remains under the mayor's control. Schwalb welcomed this legal clarity.

Despite the legal hurdle, the clean-up operation continues unabated. The DEA chief, in his role as the emergency police commissioner, is overseeing the efforts of various law enforcement and security agencies to restore peace and order in the city. The operation is a significant undertaking, involving multiple entities working tirelessly to implement President Trump's directive.

The clean-up operation in Washington D.C. is a complex task, requiring the coordinated efforts of numerous agencies. The DEA chief, as the emergency police commissioner, is playing a crucial role in ensuring that these efforts are effectively coordinated and executed. The operation is ongoing, and the city's residents can expect to see continued action from the law enforcement and security agencies involved.
