On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi tightened the Trump administration’s grip on D.C., rescinding the city’s protections for illegal immigrants and stripping power from Washington’s police chief.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
From Fox News:
Bondi’s order, titled “Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia,” mostly took aim at sanctuary city policies within the nation’s capital, rescinding any order that limits how Metropolitan police officers can handle interactions and incidents with illegal immigrants.
She also stripped power from Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith by naming Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole as the department’s “emergency police commissioner,” granting him all the “powers and duties vested” in the position.
…
Bondi also explicitly rescinded three orders issued by the Metro police within the past two years related to illegal immigration – the most recent one being an executive order issued by Smith earlier on Thursday limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
This follows President Trump’s executive actions on Monday. The President seized control of the nation’s capital, deploying the National Guard to help combat rampant crime.
Since the President took action on Monday, Fox notes that “federal law enforcement and the National Guard have been visible throughout the district.” Law enforcement reportedly arrested 45 people, 29 of whom were illegal immigrants, on Wednesday alone. Clearly, the President’s strategy to curb crime is working.
Meanwhile, following these Wednesday arrests, U.S. Marshals Service Director Gady Serralta said in a Thursday interview that D.C. should eliminate cashless bail and keep people in jail to crack down on crime.
From Breitbart:
[CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett] said that totally eliminating crime isn’t doable.
Serralta responded, “Well, I can tell you this: It’s definitely not going to be achievable if we continue the catch and release program that we have, right? We need to stop this cashless bail program that D.C. has. Because no sooner than the police officer puts them in the jail, some other police officer, maybe in the same shift, is picking them up for a different crime. And that needs to stop and that needs to stop now. That’s a legislative issue, something that the government here can take up.”
Director Serralta promised a “de-escalation” in Washington if the city can “make headway with bad guys staying in the jail, rather than walking right back out the other side.”
IFA prayer leaders prayed about President Trump’s federal takeover of Washington on last Tuesday’s Headline Prayer Live webcast. You can watch that webcast below:
As federal law enforcement and the National Guard continue to bring order to D.C., let’s pray for them. Let’s ask God to protect them, and let’s pray for an end to rampant crime in the nation’s capital!
How are you praying into the situation in Washington, D.C.? Share your prayers and scriptures below.

God You are the Sovereign over these cities, including DC. Only by Your great and endless grace can you change the hearts that are perpetuating these crimes, because of their evil in their hearts. Just like in the days of Noah, they are doing evil continually. This is all they know to do until you pierce their hearts with the understanding of You and their understanding of their sin. Please have Your mighty way in their hearts Oh Father in Heaven, for Your great glory and praise!!!
In Jesus mighty powerful name, amen
Too bad this didn’t happen when the Capitol Building was stormed.
Oh, but there were no crimes committed there, were there? The President pardoned all of them. Oh well.
Yes since things happened in the past let’s keep the criminology going!! Makes so much sense! Terminal TDS poor thing.
Thank you Jesus for President Trump!
Lord God, in Your Holy Name, we ask for safety and integrity to be restored to our Nation’s Capitol. Protect the law enforcement, the citizen , and those in office. Give them wisdom to seek those who are out to destroy us and return the city to one of beauty, safety, and people seeking Your Righteousness .
Thank you Abba Father as you protect our National Guard & police officers helping to restore law & order to DC. This lawlessness has been brought on by the evil forces of sanctuary cities & the leftist agenda. Continue to keep our nation safe from these who are destroyers. In your name we pray. Amen
Father God, bring righteous clarity to the members of the U.S. congress who are fully responsible for this District of Columbia. For it is an emblem to them before the people of this nation and the world. They bear the responsibilities enumerated in the Constitution, May they see clearly the results of their policies, actions, and inactions. Amen
Please come to South Philadelphia as soon as possible. Its the Wild West down here.
My son-in-law did an internship for 10 months in Philly. As he and my daughter were leaving an evening of fireworks on the 4th of July, the two were met with a mob of youths that sucker punched my daughter and also punched my son-in-law. Our merciful God found passage for them from that situation that took them to a police car with two officers inside. They shared what happened to them, but the officers told them there was nothing they could do about it. That evening, it was reported on the news that a mob of young people were caught on camera ransacking a local Walgreen’s. I feel sure that if that particular incident had not been caught on tape at a large corporate business, absolutely nothing would have been said about it. Philly as well as DC have become crime ridden hot spots, and I truly pray that those cities, and others, can turn away from crime and turn to Christ. A prayer we all need to pray for a fallen world. I feel your pain and God does to.
ABBA FATHER SEND A REVIVAL!!!!
THANK YOU JESUS
FOR SENDING US THIS ADMINISTRATION THAT IS REVERSING GENERATIONS OF TREASONOUS POLICY FORCED ON US BY THE DEEP STATE WHO SERVICES THE ELITES LIKE GATES, HANKS, BIDEN, ROCKEFELLER, ECT. YOUALL KNOW WHO THEY ARE.THE RESORATION OFTHE CONSTITUTION IS HAPPENING BEFORE OUR EYES.SATANIC DEMOCRATS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS WANR US DEAD AND IN CHAINS.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Lord, We give you the praise and thanks for the repeal of the sanctuary city and limited cooperation with ICE policies that have plagued DC. May that spread to other such sanctuary cities. We ask for a complete repeal of cashless bail and catch and release policies. Help those in authority have and utilize effective intel and methods to weed out of the wickedness and evil in our capitol, locally and nationally, from the roots! We know that a spiritual vacuum can not exist so we ask for an outpouring of your Holy Spirit to come in with a deeper conviction of sin and a more thorough Spirit of repentance. Motivate and inspire your people to go into the jails and dark places causing your light to shine out of the darkness in such a way that many will see and praise you. May the good news of the gospel be proliferated on the air waves, on printed page and in every form of media in the Capitol and reverberate throughout the nation for your glory!
I wholeheartedly agree, Delores!!
Amen.
“From the roots” in all matters.
So be it in the Everlasting to Everlasting Name of Jesus!
Praise God righteousness is prevailing in our nation.
Romans 13:4 says our police and law enforcement are ministers of God for our good to avenge evil.
They do not bear the sword in vain.
Eccl. 8:11 says if a sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily- the heart of men is set to do evil!
Praise God when the righteous are in authority the people rejoice and the wicked will not remain in the land.
Thank you Father for protecting your ministers of righteousness and they execute your will speedily and accurately.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available!!! Glory to God
Lord, please protect all police officers as well as National Guard troops doing their job in the DC area.
Prayer. Protection against the violence towards residents by building staff employed by slum lords and violence towards residents by other residents deep in the pocket of slum lords. Protection of residents from those that are making drugs in slum lords buildings in dc. Who harbor illegal aliens and use them for hard labor and more.
No protection for ordinary citizens in dc. From slum lords and dc police that refuse to protect them. Protection. Protection. Bring your angels surround this city. We are in great need of you.
Deuteronomy .6-9
Never thought I would see the day when people would clamor for Torahless behavior to be unmolested, decriminalized, unpunished, unprosecuted, ignored, etc. – instead basically to be protected, encouraged, celebrated. Jails as only revolving doors, basically says “Sorry to interrupt your crime spree, but we have to at least look like we’re doing something about it.” Revelation, and other Scripture clearly says those days will come, but I guess I thought I wouldn’t live this long. Whether the motive for these people is actually a desire to destroy our society from within, or they operate in a sick false compassion that rejects the use of punishment to deter crime, or ? It thoroughly puzzles me! I take comfort in His promises to bring justice, and ask Him to prosper and protect those who are working to restore law and order in our capital and our nation.
Proverbs 11:7 When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; what he hopes for from evil comes to nothing.
Proverbs 11:21 Depend on it: the evil will not go unpunished; but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
Pro 16:4-5 YHVH made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of disaster. YHVH detests all those with proud hearts; be assured that they will not go unpunished.
Pro 17:15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous—both alike are an abomination to YHVH.
Proverbs 19:5 A false witness will not go unpunished; whoever breathes out lies will not escape.
Protection from slum lords and housing laws that priest them and make vulnerable residents without a voice. Without rights to stand up against these powerful families and corporations in dc. Bring together a protective police force ,not those who shut down the voices of its citizens .protection Abba.
I am praying to God Almighty for the people involved in bringing law and order back to Washington D.C. I pray for Pam Bondi. Please protect Pam and her family as she oversees the entire project. I pray for ALL the law enforcement officials involved in this project. Please watch over them and their families. Give them the shield of protection that they need as they are on the front line of this effort. lastly, I pray for all the people that are protesting this action. Help them, lord, to see how deceived that they truly are. Cause them to repent. Thank you Jesus.
As the government does its part to bring law & order our nation’s capital, we ask for a mighty move of The Holy Spirit into the hearts of D.C. residents & surrounding cities
to be encouraged to pray for restoration of D.C.
Remind, encourage & empower D.C. Godly intercessors to stand in the authority & power Jesus’ completed work on the Cross has given them to be God’s legislative body on earth and declare the enemy’s plots & plans defeated in D.C.
Lord, as you well know, my daughter and her family live in DC proper and have had many incidences of theft, car damage, verbal assaults, etc. to contend over the time that they have been there. In visiting them, we have also had our car broken into/damaged. They have had to purchase cameras, entry locks, spot lights, and now a special garage door due to the break ins. A friend; a new mom; of the family was also recently carjacked at gunpoint and is now in therapy for the incident. We pray for you to place your hand upon those who live and/or work in DC, Lord. Please keep those that Trump has placed there to bring law and order to a decades long crime problem in our Capital safe. Let what they are doing there have a lasting positive effect. While I could share many stories of my own personal negative experiences there, you know what they are, and that’s enough for me, Heavenly Father. Let every soul who commits atrocities there and everywhere seek and find you, for you are our refuge and strength in all situations. Thank you for your presence in our lives, Lord. Let us find rest and peace in you and you alone. Amen and amen!
Long ago, DC courts coddled Bernard Welch, the killer of Dr. Michael Halberstam on a DC street after he left work at Sibley Hospital at night. Had the crime occurred across the street in Maryland, the killer would have received the death penalty. DC did away with capital punishment in 1957 and countless murders occurred since in DC with the concurrence of criminal coddling judges. Don’t forget the murder of Sen. Shelby’s aide outside a DC drug store a while back, and the recent thuggery of congressional aides. Pres. Trump needs to keep up the good work. Unfortunately, a DC federal judge recently overturned AG Bondi’s order for a federal police commissioner and hopefully that order gets appealed and overturned. BTW DC has been an abortion mecca for at least 60 years, long before Roe v Wade. DC smells of corruption for decades. Murder cases in DC must be tried in federal courts where capital sentences can be obtained. Something needs to be done to remove criminal coddling judges from DC courts. Meanwhile, the DC police and supporting National Guard must go into the ghettos in NW, NE, and SE DC and bring order and safety to the residents, lock up the druggies, thieves, carjackers, burglars etc. and get dangerous killers a trip to the injection room.
I’ve prayed
Amen. God bless and protect our nations capital. Thank You for bringing law and order into our nation beginning here. Re-establish our borders in DC. She should not continue to be an entity in herself but as a mother in our nation agreeing with the Constitution and three branches of government who represent us as a father. A family of states together as one. With God our Father bringing His purpose and order to USA.
In Jesus Name we praise and thank you Almighty God for the law and order going on in DC and ask that you bless, protect and prosper the work and efforts of all our law enforcement officers involved as they work together for the safety and protection of our citizens. We pray for righteous incarcerations and prosecutions of criminals and for all to be done decently and in order. We pray for repentance and salvations. We bind all powers of darkness and cut their bands asunder. We loose the power of God and His Angels to go forth and assist there and all over our land. Bless our President and his administration as they continue to lead our nation according to your righteous standards. Thank you for saving America.
Great prayer that nails it. Wickedness and evil from those who subvert justice must be removed. In agreement that the criminally inclined, any rogue law enforcement, or any wicked politician at ANY level repent and turn to Jesus or…be met with the wrath of God.
Corruption has been rampant in DC for decades at all levels. The mayor. Maybe up to 90% of the corruption is due to corrupt judges on DC courts with the concurrence of the DC federal court judges. The DC bar needs to clean its ranks, which they will not do. Pres. Trump and AG Bondi need to take note of this.
Father God, as world is changing Lord we know you coming soon times is showing in the earth. We pray Mercy for the saved and the unsaved Touch our loves ones as well our friends send forth you Minster angels to touch every person bring order to DC help the leadership to make any necessary decisions to help the citizens be safe. We come before you Jesus for your justice and righteousness fall on the earth let your light shine to all to know you coming soon. In Jesus name 🙏
