• DC v. Trump: Washington, DC, is suing the Trump administration trying to block its takeover of the city’s police department.
• Emergency hearing: DC wants Judge Ana Reyes to pause the takeover while the lawsuit proceeds. An emergency hearing began at 2 p.m.
• Action from Justice: Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday ordered DC to accept Terry Cole, the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, as the district’s “emergency police commissioner” and give him full control of the department during the federal takeover.
The hearing has resumed after a 100-minute break.
Judge Ana Reyes had urged both sides to negotiate.
