DC itself is not a federal enclave.
Have a source for that? Every result I get for googling "Is DC a Federal Enclave" says it is, or isn't actually on point. Not one says it isn't so far.

Even though it has a home rule charter Congress still technically has the final oversight and say over any laws passed.
Wouldn't that make the District of Columbia Federal? And why the OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA represents them. (Sorry for the all Caps, it was copy and paste to get it right) Additionally Wikipedia and this says the MPD was formed by an Act of Congress in 1861. Furthermore, it points out the MPD has been required, with other federal agencies, to prepare a report to Congress annually. One can also find quite a bit of information about DC Police and Firefighter retirement plans on the DoTreasury website if you hunt. All in all, I think it would be extremely easy for a lawyer to make the case that the US and/or it's officers are party to the lawsuit.
