I think it’s sort of amusing that MAGA is celebrating that Trump is kicking all of the homeless out of the big cities. Mayberry RFD needs to prepare for a new problem.
That’s not how it works. They just go to a different part of DC. They aren’t going to Mayberry.
 
It sounds like there are certain circumstances where the president is authorized to deploy the national card into a state, without the request or approval of the governor. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump drummed up another fake emergency to justify misusing that power.
 
“…Joseph Nunn, counsel for the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center, told The New Republic that the memo suggests “military involvement in domestic civilian law enforcement” on the streets of the U.S. is about to become “more common.”

… The younger Hegseth was a podcast producer and social media poster for a conservative think-tank before his brother’s rise from the Fox & Friends Weekend couch to being in charge of the world’s most powerful military. He is not technically a Pentagon employee, but one of the Department of Homeland Security, which means anti-nepotism rules are not directly engaged [although Phil’s office is in the Pentagon near his brother’s SECDEF office]….”
By the way, two of the three top members of the House GOP leadership come from cities with much higher murder rates than Chicago. Scalise is from New Orleans, which has BY FAR the highest murder rate in the country. Johnson is from Shreveport, which is also way above Chicago. Emmert is from Minneapolis, which is lower than Chicago, but may be next on the Pubs' list of blue cities to demonize as needing federal intervention.

The Senate GOP leadership is mostly from rural America, which tends to be much higher than urban American in many forms of violent crime (including domestic violence), but not in homicides.
