Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) vehemently opposed President Donald Trump’s request to extend federal control over Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department beyond the 30-day limit set by the Home Rule Act, declaring “No f‑‑‑ing way” in a profanity-laced interview on August 13, 2025, with Aaron Parnas on “The Parnas Perspective.”
Schumer vowed Democrats would “fight tooth and nail” to block the extension, which requires congressional approval, and suggested Trump’s push was a distraction from issues like the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The federalization, initiated around August 7 under Trump’s “Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force” executive order, involved National Guard deployment and over 100 arrests by August 13, drawing mixed reactions, with D.C. officials like Mayor Muriel Bowser seeing potential, while others, including Maryland Senators, decried it as authoritarian overreach.
