US President Donald Trump has threatened to declare a national emergency in Washington, D.C., amid a dispute with the city’s police department over cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The move comes after Mayor Muriel Bowser refused to share information on individuals living in or entering the US illegally. This follows Trump’s August deployment of National Guard troops to restore order and safety in the city, which has been met with protests from critics who see it as an overreach by the federal government.
