Protest At DC Police Headquarters
Demonstrators gather at the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. on August 15, 2025, protesting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's order to turn over control of the department to a federal administrator and encouraging MPD Police Chief Pam Smith not to follow the directive. Several days prior, President Donald Trump invoked section 740 of Washington, D.C.'s Home Rule Act of 1973, federalizing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and deploying over 800 National Guard troops, citing crime-fighting reasons. (Photo by Bryan Dozier/NurPhoto)
