Bondi Tightens Trump Administration’s Grip on D.C. Police

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday night rescinded Washington, D.C., policies that restrict the local police from aiding in immigration enforcement as she moved to tighten the Trump administration’s grip over law enforcement in the nation’s capital.

The two-page order from Ms. Bondi also declared that Terry Cole, the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, who had already been overseeing the federal takeover of the city’s police department, was now the “emergency police commissioner,” with “all the powers and duties” invested in the city’s police chief, Pamela A. Smith.

Trump Takes Control Of DC Police To Restore Safety, Pride, and Beauty To Nation’s Capital

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that his administration is taking back control of Washington, D.C., by returning policing control to federal control after decades of city government failure.

Trump signed an executive order invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act, which allows his administration to take control of D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department. Along with invoking Section 740, he declared a pubic safety emergency in the nation’s capital. He also signed a memorandum to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directing him to mobilize the D.C. National Guard to help clean up crime in the city.

Eight feral girls participated in the fatal swarming of a homeless man. None of them will serve additional jail time

The punishments meted out to those who take someone else’s life are not supposed to be seen as measures of the value of that lost life. We should not infer that a life is worth more, for example, if a killer is sentenced to 25 years, as opposed to 10 years, or five years, or just a couple of years of probation. Punishments are supposed to be about the circumstances of a crime, about aggravated and mitigating factors, about the principles of denunciation and distribution, about rehabilitation and retribution, and about public safety. The inherent worth of the lost life, really, has nothing to do with it.

Black man given reduced sentence due to race, Quebec minister worries it sets bad precedent

A Quebec minister responsible for fighting racism is criticizing a ruling by a judge who reduced a convicted Black man’s sentence due to systemic discrimination.

In an interview with The Canadian Press, Christopher Skeete said that someone’s race should not be a factor affecting sentencing for a crime.

“I question whether or not as a society this is exactly where we want to go,” the minister said. “Do we really want to formalize discrimination in the attribution of sentences for people who perpetrate crimes?”

HUNTER: New Ontario minister for bail slams soft-on-crime feds

The severity of the crime no longer matters.

Shoplifting is on par with murder and sexual assault. Ultimately, every crook – two-bit or sophisticated – walks out of bail court with a free pass thanks to the Trudeau government’s mind-boggling homage to stupidity, Bill C-75.


I wouldn’t hold my breath “Law and Order” is likely too right wing for Ford.

Transgender serial sex offender gets indefinite sentence after TMU attack. Judge ‘alarmed’ by transfer to female jail

A Toronto judge has designated a repeat sex offender as dangerous and handed down an indefinite prison sentence — while expressing concern that the prisoner, who identifies as transgender, was granted a transfer to a women’s detention facility.

In a sentencing decision released last week, Ontario Court Justice Brock Jones said he was “alarmed” to learn that Charles Waddling-Leeson had been moved to a provincial women’s detention facility after starting a gender transition from male to female while in custody.

Courtroom tears work for feral teen participant in murderous swarming attack

‘If I had the opportunity to apologize to Mr. Lee I would’: Final girl to be sentenced in fatal swarming of Kenneth Lee

The last girl to face sentencing in the death of Kenneth Lee said she takes full responsibility for her part in the swarming attack.

After her tearful apology in Superior Court on Wednesday, the now 17-year-old girl learned it is unlikely she will return to jail with the Crown agreeing she has served her time already.

The police can’t control Britain’s streets

Spineless senior officers need the sack

If the asylum-seeker protests now sweeping England are a dream come true for the online Right, the police response is even more tantalising. From the hastily formed “elite” squads monitoring online sentiment to the allegations that officers facilitated trollish counter-demonstrators in Epping, conspiracists can easily claim that the powers-that-be are conniving to keep anti-migrant activism down. Yet the truth, like most heady narratives, is far more prosaic. Far from crushing innocent protesters with an iron fist, British police forces are actually afflicted by a crippling institutional paralysis — one that could yet overwhelm them.

14 Year Old Dead Eyed Demon Likely To Serve 4 Year’s Max

Facing a whole 4 Year sentence

The Supreme Court just made it much more difficult to sentence youth offenders as adults

The 14-year-old charged in the fatal stabbing of a senior in a Toronto parking lot will serve, at most, four years in prison if convicted of second-degree murder. Four years – roughly the time it takes to finish a degree, or renew a mortgage term – a blink of time compared to the 71 years that the accused allegedly extinguished because Shahnaz Pestonji would not give up her car keys. Ms. Pestonji was stabbed and killed in an unprovoked attack in broad daylight when she was loading groceries into her car last week. The accused allegedly fled the scene, and later, appeared to go live on his Instagram feed, where he discussed the incident and also danced around to rap, flashing an apparent firearm.

MORGAN: The Canadian justice system is in terminal condition

Rukinisha Nkundabatware was stabbed to death by a random stranger on July 9th, 2023, as he tried to ride the LRT in Edmonton. He was 54 and left seven children behind. Ironically, he had escaped the violent, impoverished world of Congo, only to be murdered due to Canada’s pathetic justice system.

Jamal Wheeler killed Nkundabatware in cold blood. He didn’t know his victim nor was he provoked by the victim. Wheeler has a thing with trying to kill people at LRT stations. It’s an established pattern for him.

UK: Police officers who actively participate in Pride marches are breaking the law

Police joining Pride protests was always a step too far

Police officers who actively participate in Pride marches are breaking the law, according to a landmark judgment in the High Court. In a decision that’s likely to have a profound effect on how chief constables behave in future, Mr Justice Linden today ruled that the sight of uniformed officers marching, displaying the Progress flag and turning up in official vehicles painted in Pride colours breaches their duty of impartiality.

The defendant in the case was Vanessa Jardine, chief constable of Northumbria Police, who joined the Newcastle Pride in the City 2024 march with her officers in July last year. The judge said that Jardine’s decision to participate was “irrational”, pointing out that every police officer swears an oath to behave with “integrity, diligence and impartiality”.
