D.C. police officers can assist federal immigration agencies in limited circumstances following an Executive Order issued by Police Chief Pamela Smith on Thursday.

President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said Friday that the administration is not asking Washington, D.C., police to directly enforce immigration laws, adding that officers must cooperate with federal authorities.
