There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.
WASHINGTON (AP) — South Carolina, Ohio also sending National Guard troops to DC in further escalation of federal intervention in Dem city.

🚨 Sources close to the DC mayor and police say, Trump will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops into D.C. tomorrow/Monday.
• For context, Los Angeles is 502.7 square miles, and he deployed 4,000 troops there.
• Washington, D.C. is only 68.3 square miles.

ICE is dialing up recruitment w/ a "Defend the Homeland" campaign after gaining $75B from Trump & Congress. "We are now firmly into break-the-glass territory," says @radleybalko.bsky.social. Fascism expert Jason Stanley warns about the “ideological cover” needed for the “moral injury” of the job.
‘Firmly into break the glass territory’: ICE ramps up recruitment and the job requirement is MAGA
Uncle Sam wants you - to deport undocumented immigrants? To "defend your culture"? The Department of Homeland Security is ramping up ICE recruitment with their "Defend the Homeland" campaign. DHS has dropped the age and education requirements, and is throwing cash incentives at applicants - no experience needed. It's becoming clear that this is not about border security. Award-winning journalist Randy Balko argues Americans should be alarmed, "we are explicitly creating a paramilitary for Trump.” University of Toronto’s Dr. Jason Stanley shares his concern and is worried about the impact the job will have on the new inexperienced agents, “what they are doing will affect them for their whole lives…it's brutal work.”

It's giving preferential treatment to child molester Ghislaine Maxwell in hopes she won't reveal Trump's connection to the scandal.
