In the 8 days that followed, #Trump refocused his attention on #DC. He enlisted AG #PamBondi to oversee the #police & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth to call up the #troops. #JeaninePirro, who was recently approved as DC’s #USattorney, was prepared to increase prosecutions.

“We will have full, seamless, integrated cooperation at all levels of law enforcement & will deploy officers across the district with an overwhelming presence,” Trump said during a long news conference.

The test followed months of unrest in cities across the country, prompted by the #police murder of #GeorgeFloyd, that spurred #NationalGuard deployments in numerous locations. #Trump, then nearing the end of his first term, sought to employ active-duty #combat #troops while #Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper & other Pentagon officials urged him to rely instead on the Guard, which is trained to address civil disturbances.

The 1878 #PosseComitatusAct prevents the president from using the #military as a #domestic #police force. The case could set precedent for how #Trump can deploy the guard in the future in #California or other #states.

The Dept of #Defense ordered the deployment of roughly 4,000 California #NationalGuard troops & 700 #Marines. Most of the #troops have since left but 250 National Guard members remain, acc/to the latest figures provided by the #Pentagon.

#Trump also signed a presidential memorandum directing #Defense Sec #PeteHegseth to deploy the #NationalGuard in the nation’s capital.

Trump said he hopes other cities, including #LosAngeles, #NewYork & #Chicago, are watching the steps he’s announced in #DC & would take steps to “self-clean up.”

He said that if needed, the admin would take similar steps in other cities & criticized their leadership at the local & #state levels.
