Excerpt:

Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol official who led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in California, on Tuesday announced he had arrived in Chicago, signaling ICE operations in the area are ramping up.

“Well, Chicago, we’ve arrived!” Bovino wrote in a social media post, accompanied by a video of Border Patrol agents in Chicago. “Operation At Large is here to continue the mission we started in Los Angeles — to make the city safer by targeting and arresting criminal illegal aliens.”

The escalated operation comes as Chicagoans are celebrating Mexican Independence Day.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote on social media that Chicago arrests on Tuesday included people arrested for violent assault, felony stalking or DUI. She did not provide any names.

Bovino, who is typically dressed in tactical gear, led the latest deportation effort in Los Angeles that led to more than 5,000 arrests. Tuesday’s enforcement is separate from the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Midway Blitz,” which was announced two weeks ago.

Replying to a social media post by Gov. JB Pritzker’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Matt Hill, who criticized that ICE hasn’t called Pritzker but has “the time to create a TikTok video showing off beautiful Chicago scenery,” Bovino wrote, “Tik tok, tik tok, time is up!!”

“We have to save our country from vioIent crime!” Trump said in remarks at the White House. “Our team will deploy the full powers of federal law enforcement agencies and enforcement generally to restore public safety and get dangerous career criminals off of our streets.”

Trump pointed to  Memphis’s crime record: “In 2024, Memphis had the highest violent crime rate, the highest property crime rate, and the third highest murder rate of any city in the nation. Other than that, they’re doing quite well.”

Trump Administration Drafts Plan To Activate 1,000 National Guard Troops Pending Republican Governor’s Support, Report Claims– wltreport.com

Excerpt:

The Trump administration has drafted a plan to activate 1,000 National Guard troops in Louisiana, reports claim.

The troops would reportedly be sent to Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

According to reports, National Guard troops would support law enforcement operations in the state’s urban centers.

WBRZ explained:

The plan, confirmed by the Pentagon, would have National Guard troops support law enforcement in Louisiana’s “urban centers,” but hinges on a formal request from Gov. Jeff Landry, according to the report. Landry has shown support for troop deployment in Louisiana in the past, but he has not yet made an official request.

According to The Washington Post, troops would help with drug enforcement and communication support in the current plan.

The report comes after Trump has made more than one mention of sending troops to New Orleans in the last several days.

As President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department draws to a close, the Trump administration boasted a high number of arrests and illegal guns seized.

Speaking at a Tuesday press conference, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that since the federal takeover of Washington’s police on Aug. 7, police had made 2,177 arrests. Of those, 57 were made on Monday night, and 14 of those were illegal immigrants. Several of these were on warrants for violent crimes, including someone who reportedly pistol-whipped a victim during a carjacking and another who allegedly shot two people during an altercation.

Attorney General Pam Bondi noted that 222 illegal firearms were seized since the beginning of the takeover, eight of which were seized on Monday.

Excerpt:

Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser had some positive things to say about Trump’s law enforcement surge in the city today, noting the drastic drop in crimes, most notably carjackings.

This is sure to cause some anger on the left. This is precisely what most Democrats do not want to hear. They’re still trying to run with the narrative that this was some sort of authoritarian takeover of the city.

What they can’t argue with is numbers, like the ones Bowser is citing here.

NBC News reported:

“We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city,” the mayor, a Democrat, told reporters about the expansion of federal law enforcement and its partnership with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Carjackings, she said, were the “most troubling” crime that plagued D.C. in 2023 and they have decreased in recent years. Bowser said that in the 20 days since the federal takeover, there has been an 87% drop in carjackings compared to the same period last year. The data cited also showed a 15% fall in crime overall in the district during that same period last year.

“We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer, so this surge has been important to us,” said Bowser, who added that she has been personally engaged with Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles…

The mayor said that since the increase in federal law enforcement officers, there have been more stops that have resulted in the seizure of illegal guns and there has been more “accountability in the system” that “is driving down illegal behavior.”

You knew this line was going to be dropped about President Trump’s executive order creating specialized National Guard units to curb urban unrest and rising crime, a not-so-subtle warning to Democrat-run cities that federal troops could be coming soon to a theater near you (via NYT):

President Trump directed the Defense Department on Monday to take a larger role in domestic law enforcement, including by “quelling civil disturbances,” as he threatens to broaden deployments of the National Guard in cities run by his political enemies.

The executive order, released by the White House on Monday morning, also formalizes the creation of specially trained National Guard units in the District of Columbia and all 50 states that can be mobilized quickly for “ensuring the public safety and order.”

United States President Donald Trump has announced his government will seek the death penalty in every murder case that unfolds in Washington, DC, as part of his crackdown on crime in the country’s capital.

Trump made the announcement in the midst of a Labor Day-themed meeting of his cabinet on Tuesday as he discussed a range of issues, from weapons sales to the rising cost of living.

“Anybody murders something in the capital: capital punishment. Capital capital punishment,” Trump said, seeming to relish the wordplay.

“If somebody kills somebody in the capital, Washington, DC, we’re going to be seeking the death penalty. And that’s a very strong preventative, and everybody that’s heard it agrees with it.”

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore came out swinging over the weekend, rejecting a plot by President Donald Trump to deploy federal troops to Baltimore, the largest city in Moore’s home state.

Trump has deployed federal law enforcement and the National Guard to Washington, despite a recent drop in crime. He has also threatened to repeat the process with other major cities with large Black populations. In response, Moore sent a letter to Trump on Thursday, inviting him to go on a safety walk in Baltimore to see how crime-prevention efforts have improved the situation there.

As part of our broad approach to public safety, I regularly join community advocates and elected officials to walk through the neighborhoods most affected by violent crime,” Moore wrote. “I would like to formally invite you to attend our next public safety walk in September, at a date of your choosing.”

President Donald Trump’s DC takeover has proven to be broadly unpopular among residents and seemingly counterproductive.

But the president has never been deterred by facts—and he is now setting his sights on additional cities where violent crime has already been falling.

The Washington Post first reported on Saturday that the Pentagon has for weeks been developing plans for potential troop deployments in Chicago. The report came a day after Trump hinted at such a move himself, calling Chicago a “mess” and Mayor Brandon Johnson “incompetent.” Citing officials familiar, the Post reports that the plan could include mobilizing a few thousand members of the National Guard to take to Chicago’s streets by next month.
