Trump’s ‘Law and Order’ Push Is Like an Immigration Raid

Wall Street Journal: “When Trump announced on Aug. 11 that he would deploy hundreds of National Guard members and federalize the local police to ‘take back’ the capital, he framed the mission as a crackdown on violent crime..”

“In practice, the most visible impact of Trump’s federal takeover has been the immigration-enforcement effort… Authorities have pulled delivery drivers off mopeds, arrested construction workers and demanded proof of legal status from vendors selling mangos and watermelons. Vehicle checkpoints have sprung up nightly, and ICE vans have parked outside daycare centers and churches that tend to employ immigrants.”
