FBI dispatches agents to D.C. streets as Trump vows crackdown on crime, and it’s hard not to be taken aback by the implications.

It evokes a sense of being used, of their skills and ambitions being sidelined for a seemingly performative act.

This follows his executive order that allows law enforcement to displace and institutionalize homeless people. His plans for the unhoused include institutionalization and forced substance use treatment, proposals which come amid the Supreme Court’s decision allowing cities to ban sleeping outdoors.
