him federal intervention was unnecessary; state authorities could handle the riots. Washington then promptly ignored local officials, mobilized over 12,000 troops, sent them in and started making arrests.Washington's"troops" were local militia, not agents employed by an executive branch agency, riding in unmarked. Also, some whiskey protesters interfered with the tax collection process and physically attacked federal"agents" — tax collectors.
But generally, the power to police is reserved to the states by the 10th Amendment. Federal agents are not supposed to have the general arrest powers carried by local or state officers. Federal agents' arrest power is limited to their specific, articulated federal jurisdiction. The FBI, for instance, cannot set up speed traps or DUI checkpoints. Their arrest power is limited to violations of federal law. It's why Trump could issue an executive
for federal law enforcement officials to arrest a specific class of people: those who damage a monument or statue — a crime falling under federal jurisdiction., Congress has never authorized the president to conduct general police activities in an American city. It's certainly not likely to do so now. If the president and the attorney general want to"send in the feds," they can only send them for a constitutional purpose: to enforce federal law or support local law enforcement.
Trump and Barr cannot dispatch federal agents to take over local law enforcement activities simply because they might think local police are doing a poor job. Federal criminal jurisdiction has expanded exponentially since the times of Hamilton and Washington, but it has not, and cannot, expand to take over the duties of local police. That is a constitutional line that the feds cannot cross.

Tough ❤️ for Portland. Let Portland burn! Regrets always come later. May the results be an example to all Other States. Detroit has not yet recovered since the 60s.
If they are American 'IF',they should stand with the peaceful protesters and make an on the spot correction on those who want to incite violence, we are in this together, it's not a video game!!😎
If local police and politician were providing necessary protection this would not be an issue.
But it shows more about how leftwingparties and their allies want to ignore the facts and promote anarchy Trump is not the problem, they are !!
When democratic Mayors not want to protect their own population against tugs ,and at the same time disarm their own police, so no one is safe in that city against violent leftwing anarchists and their allyes Then is is right
“Does Trump have the right” Wrong question. The right question is does he have the authority? The government has no rights. They have authority given to them be the consent of the governed.
Federal agents were sent in to protect federal buildings that the rioters were trying to destroy. Get it straight.
Trump will start World War III if it meant reelection just that kind of guy
Any attempt by these anarchist to burn down a federal building or assualt federal law enforcement officers is definitely a crime!
He has the hammer, so use it
