‘Law and Order’ Push Shows a Trump No Longer Encumbered by Naysaying Aides or Government Guardrails

Trump touted 8,000-plus arrests under Operation Summer Heat amid ongoing troop deployments to Democrat-led cities to reinforce his law-and-order agenda during his second term.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump was interrupted by passing sirens in the Rose Garden during a somber Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony for conservative activist Charlie Kirk as he said, `We're going to save all of our cities, and we're going to make them essentially crime-free.`
  • Earlier this year, Trump took control of the California National Guard and sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C. and Memphis, Tennessee amid immigration enforcement.
  • Flanked by FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, Trump said the FBI made 8,000-plus arrests and called `They're not politically correct sirens.`
  • Local leaders resisted the deployments, legal challenges blocked plans to send soldiers to Chicago, Illinois and Portland, Oregon, and critics say the Department of Justice has been weaponized.
  • With 81% of Americans viewing crime as a major problem, Trump's tough-on-crime approach benefits his party heading into next year's midterm elections.
