Amid President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration, Washington, D.C., mayor Muriel Bowser (D.) is doing an abrupt about-face from her previous views on enforcement, working to repeal a law that bars local police from assisting ICE.
Bowser is quietly proposing to overturn the sanctuary city law, which prohibits D.C. officials from inquiring about a detainee's immigration status, transferring individuals to ICE, or allowing ICE to interview suspects in local custody without a judicial order, Axios reported.
"The mayor is asking for the repeal without fanfare, via a tucked-away provision as part of her newly released 2026 budget proposal," according to Axios, which noted that "the D.C. Council has final say over what makes it into the budget, and some progressive members may thwart Bowser's push."
Bowser's hawkishness on immigration marks a sharp change from the positions she's held since becoming mayor in 2015.
