唐纳德·特朗普总统周三在肯尼迪中心发表讲话时表示,他将寻求对华盛顿警察部队的“长期”联邦控制。
根据的第740节华盛顿地方自治法案,特朗普只能控制该市的执法部门30天,除非国会延长这一期限。
当被问及他是否会与国会合作,延长允许他暂时控制当地执法机构的紧急授权时,特朗普回答说,“我们需要一项犯罪法案,我们将会提出这项法案,它最初将与华盛顿特区有关。”
“我们将要求延期——长期延期,因为你不能有30天,”他继续说。
特朗普还表示,这将“最初”适用于华盛顿特区,暗示这可能是未来在其他城市使用的路线图。
Trump says he will seek 'long-term' takeover of DC police force
President Donald Trump said he will seek "long-term" federal control of the D.C. police force during his remarks at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday.
According to Section 740 ofD.C.'s Home Rule Act, Trump can only have control of the city's law enforcement for 30 days unless that is extended by Congress.
When asked whether he'd work with Congress to extend the emergency authorization allowing him to seize temporary control of local law enforcement, Trump responded, "We're going to need a crime bill, that we're going to be putting in, and it's going to pertain initially to D.C."
"We're going to be asking for extensions on that -- long-term extensions, because you can't have 30 days," he continued.
Trump also indicated that this will pertain "initially" to D.C., hinting that it could be a roadmap to be used in other cities in the future.
