Trump in 'law and order' campaign to send federal agents to more U.S. cities

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump announced a plan on Wednesday to send federal agents to the Democratic-run cities of Chicago and Albuquerque to crack down on violent crime in an escalation of his “law and order” theme heading into the final months before the presidential election.

The program involves deploying federal law enforcement agents to assist local police in combating what the Justice Department has described as a “surge” of violent crime. Barr sought to differentiate the initiative from the use of federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security to quell unrest in Portland, where local authorities have complained about the federal involvement.

“This is different than the operations and tactical teams we use to defend against riots and mob violence,” Barr said. “We will continue to confront mob violence. But the operations we are discussing today are very different – they are classic crime fighting.” Lightfoot said it was not unusual for federal law enforcement to work alongside local partners, but urged Chicagoans to watch for any sign that federal agents, especially DHS officers, were stepping “out of line.”

Let them eat their own

long overdue...should have sent feds once the rioting, vandalism, burning sequestering city blocks have remained unsolved, and simply acquiesced by incompetent, maybe scared, maybe complicit local officials.

Thank you Mr President

He's like a 4 year old, pushing the boundaries to see how far his parents will let him go! His enablers will set zero boundaries!

Dopey Trump thinks he can intimidate citizens. News flash: We don’t work for you. You work for us realDonaldTrump. You’re fired.

Thank you Mr President

Not. Good.

This campaign stunt is going to backfire.

Trump is Hitler reborn except Hitler was a lot better when it came to speeches.

I wonder if he'd send them to republican run cities if they had protesters.

So, 45 wants the states to deal with Covid19 on their own, but sends the feds in to strong arm protesters? This is illogical and irrational, yet; here we are. RecklessTrump VoteThemOut autocracy DictatorTrump at it's finest.
