I saw that earlier, and I'm still trying to make up my mind about it. Our federalist system gives quite a bit of latitude to state and local governments, but a case can be made that the mayor violated the civil rights of people who lived and worked in the "autonomous zone." I think if any charges can be brought, that would be the way to go. But then, if I were the grand poobah of the DOJ, I'd be doing a whole lot of things differently from the way Barr is doing them.
