Although you slices it, President Trump has implemented real martial law in Columbia district. He declared an emergency, seized control of the 3,100-Service Metropolitan Police Department, unnecessarily called the National Guard out-and no one other than federal courts could stop him.
With crime in the district, the acquisition is a seriously disabled pre -disabled policy that sets a bad example, and perhaps a chilling dry run for things to come to other blue cities such as Baltimore, Okland and even New York City.
Implementing Trump’s executive order, Attorney General Palm Bondi directed the DC mayor to recognize the DEA’s chief Terence Cole as the “Emergency Commissioner of Police”.
Trump’s action was over obstacles with the 1973 Home Rule Act that DC Mayor Muril Boussar and DC Attorney General Brian L. Shukalab Prosecute Unprecedented acquisition. “Administration is misusing its temporary, limited rights under law,” Schwalb Tweeted On 15 August. “This is the most serious threat to the rule of the house. DC has ever encountered, and we are fighting to stop it.”
After hearing before DC District Judge Ana Reyes, the court directed the justice department to re -form Trump’s order. The DEA Administrator will be demoted from the police chief for a contact to the DC government, but the difference is without difference. The Trump administration is under the control of the metropolitan police department.
Although the judge said that Trump could list the local authorities to help implement the immigration laws, the court certainly did not rule the real courage of the case: Can Trump DC police command the police to implement immigration violations contrary to district laws and policies. The issue is likely to be resolved this week. On the basis of how the judge Reece, the DC government can comply with Trump’s crusade to enforce the immigration law or can give it a lip service, stirring the virtue of the district home rule.
Trump of Kachchi Police Shakti attracted attention from his soft places: mysterious Epstein files, failed summit with Vladimir Putin and a sputter economy. But their action also projects autocratic rule, and no one leaves others.
To ensure that the crime must be prevented, especially adolescent crimes. We still have a law of law. But Trump’s approach does not pass laughing exam.
What is about road crime, or trespassing offenses and disorganized conduct committed by adolescents, which includes the homeless only to camp, which requires military action and a federal acquisition? And there are not enough billions for snow in Trump’s big, beautiful budget?
White House press secretary Karolin Levitt Left no doubt That the acquisition will target the homeless, which will be “given the option to give up their encroachment, taken into a homeless shelter, adding addiction or mental health services. If they refuse, they will be subjected to fines or jail time.”
The acquisition weighs on members of the black community, which make about half of the district’s population.
National Security Scholar Lindsay P. Elbow Told reporters While the National Guard units are usually deployed for emergency situations within their own states, it is “really funny because nothing is essentially happening, crime is decreasing. We have no major protest or civil disturbances. There is no significant resistance to federal immigration policies from states. There is little evidence that anything is likely to happen soon.”
Trump’s Maga Fearmongars’ army is ready to bring him back. Far-flung political commentator Beni Johnson tweeted“When DC blamed his police, the city turned into a deadly battle area. Every resident was terrorized.”
Certainly, he jokingly.
And Kari Lake, defeated Arizona Politico accused of abolishing Voice of America, Posted a photo She took her dog on a morning walk from a sacrificial syringe. He said that his dog was untoward from experience – he did not even eat by migrants.
However, the federal acquisition of the police is not enough to streamline the District Law Enforcement, about 800 National Guardman arrived at DC Armary to report for duty. It is not clear whether they will be armed or not.
A day after Trump, Hamve and soldiers have appeared with the National Mall Released Authorities to curb the crime “whatever they want,” a far -reaching mandate to “whatever they want. Join the party There will be several additional guards of four red states, just if DC guardsman finds teenagers, migrants and homeless people heavy.
Journalist Philip Bump reports States sending DC to soldiers have a more violent crime rate in 43 cities than Washington. The presence, if not reality, is complete of martial law.
Under court-processing stypelation, the White House has a clear control. “We plan to work with DC police,” Levitt said, “but … finally the President is in charge of the Police Department and” working with the chief to ensure that the law enforcement officers are allowed to do their work in the city. “But who has ever stood in his way? Should be a democrat.
Of course, what Trump has said is wrong, wrong or excessively. National Guard, will implemented law in law enforcement? Trump controls the Congress – if things are as bad as she says, why does she not ask to act? Should they be reminded that we have three branches of the government?
In DC, the mayor admit that a serious work is to be done, seeking a holistic approach to the teenage crime. But frightening, making the police force federal and keeping soldiers on the streets of our country’s capital is definitely an executive overcrow. As is the old saying, when you have the only device a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
It is not clear that Trump’s acquisition order will be for 30 days as the law limits it or indefinitely. Meanwhile, Americans will have to live in fear of their government, who appear to train their places strangely.
