The D.C. Police Chief has recently made the decision to increase collaboration with federal immigration enforcement agencies, sparking controversy and debate within the community. As reported by CBS News, the new policy will allow local police to work more closely with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in an effort to crack down on undocumented immigrants in the nation's capital.

According to the New York Times, this decision comes after similar moves made by other cities across the country, as the federal government continues to ramp up efforts to enforce immigration laws. Critics of the policy argue that increased cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities could lead to racial profiling and discrimination.

This announcement comes just days after Florida Attorney General Bondi lifted restrictions on cooperation between D.C. police and federal immigration agents. The move has ignited a debate within the city about the role of local law enforcement in immigration enforcement.

As tensions rise and protests erupt, many in the D.C. community are left to wonder what this new policy means for the immigrant population in the city and how it will impact relationships between law enforcement and residents.
