Trump's Power Grab

In this video I talk about President Trump’s alarming move to federalize law enforcement in Washington, D.C.—a power typically reserved for the gravest national crises. In my breakdown, I walk you through the rare historical moments when federal troops have been deployed in D.C., the legal safeguards meant to prevent military policing, and Trump’s pattern of targeting Democratic-led, often Minority-majority cities. With D.C.’s crime rates actually falling, this deployment is about political distraction—and a dangerous step toward normalizing authoritarian tactics in America.
