Protest At DC Police Headquarters
Demonstrators gather outside of the U.S. Courts of the District of Columbia Circuit after marching from the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. on August 15, 2025. The demonstrators are 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, following President Donald Trump's invoking of 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)
