Trump's D.C. Goon Squads Are Un-American
When President Donald Trump first declared a crime emergency in the nation's capital and sent hundreds of federal law enforcement agents to patrol its streets, this district resident had a hard time taking it too seriously. The initial images of bored Drug Enforcement Administration agents strolling past perplexed joggers on the National Mall were more clownish than carceral. Local street resistance to the occupation was limited to a drunk guy throwing a sandwich at a federal agent. But inevitably, as this operation has dragged on, things have taken a darker turn. The sandwich-thrower was overcharged and rearrested in a needless, publicized show of force. Masked federal agents have set up an unconstitutional checkpoint, violently arrested at least one delivery driver, and filmed themselves tearing down a banner protesting their presence in the city. Each day, more and more National Guard members pour into the capital. The conversation about Trump's declared crime emergency has understandably, albeit unhelpfully, provoked a lot of discourse about how safe D.C. is, whether a federalized local police department will make it safer, whether federal agents are being deployed in the right places and going after the right crimes, and on and on. This incessant crime conversation has distracted from just how un-American Trump's show of force in the nation's capital is. Uniformed troops and masked federal agents doing routine law enforcement at the command of the president is just not how we do things in the United States. The entire point of the U.S. Constitution is to prevent the federal government from becoming a despotism, and one of the primary ways it does this is by limiting how many men with guns it has at its disposal. This is why the Constitution places strict constraints on maintaining a standing army. It's why there are only three crimes mentioned in the Constitution, none of which would plausibly require federal agents to patrol U Street. It's why questions of what to criminalize and who to prosecute were largely left up to the states. The Third Amendment is mostly treated as an anachronistic joke today. In fact, it is a load-bearing part of the Constitution that makes clear that the military and the police are different things and that Americans should not have to tolerate the presence of armed agents of the states as a routine part of daily life. Obviously we've deviated considerably from this ideal since the founding generation. The federal criminal code is now extensive. The feds' wars on drugs, terror, and immigration have grown the number of militarized federal agents doing law enforcement activities. Federal money has subsidized a similar trend of militarization of state and local police forces. Reason has been decrying this trend for decades. In his book Rise of the Warrior Cop, Radley Balko writes about how the trend of increased police militarization has eroded the "Symbolic Third Amendment" and the free society it protects. It's darkly ironic then that, after decades of politicians of both parties in D.C. gifting the federal government vast powers to police the rest of the country, a militarized federal police force is now being deployed on the streets of America's capital against its residents. This is why arguments about whether federal agents could be more effectively deployed in less visible, higher crime areas of the city are completely beside the point. The federal government acting as a beat cop is inimical to our constitutional design, regardless of how effective its efforts are. That D.C. is a federal district might seem to complicate this point. In fact, it reinforces it. Despite being a constitutionally peculiar special district, a lot of effort has been put into giving D.C. a local police force that does not practically function as an arm of the federal government. Even in the seat of federal power, it's understood that a force of federal agents policing everyday life is not something ordinary citizens should have to put up with. That Trump has the power to federalize the D.C. police or deploy the D.C. National Guard doesn't stop his actions from being authoritarian and offensive to the spirit of the Constitution, even if it doesn't violate the letter of it. It's also cold comfort that Trump's declared crime emergency is clearly mostly a performative act to rile up the libs and not a serious effort at combating crime. While the president is staging the performance, it's disconcerting that he's opted to cast himself as the villain in the play. Moreover, the longer federal agents are deployed on D.C. streets, the greater the odds that more serious abuses do happen. It's true that D.C. today is not as locked down as it has been in recent years. The police-enforced curfews during the George Floyd protests or the security cordons that sprang up after the January 6 riots were a lot more visible and heavy-handed. Excessive as those police actions were (particularly the latter), they were at least being done as an emergency response to widespread breakdowns in public order. Trump is rolling out the feds in D.C. to do routine law enforcement. That's un-American. The post Trump's D.C. Goon Squads Are Un-American appeared first on Solve the daily Crossword

6 human heads found in central Mexico, state prosecutors announce
Mexican authorities are investigating after six human heads were located near the border between two states in the country this week. The Tlaxcala State Attorney General's Office, the agency investigating the case, announced the discovery on Aug. 19 in a news release. The heads were discovered on a road between the Mexican states of Puebla and Tlaxcala. The area is east of Mexico City in the country's central region. According to the release, police officers and experts with the Institute of Forensic Sciences responded to the scene to investigate the deaths, which involved all males. The victims' ages and where they lived were not provided. Prosecutors did not share the date or exact location where the remains were discovered but said, "It should be noted that the location corresponds to the discovery, not the actual incident." Local outlet La Jornada reported someone called 911 about 6:45 a.m. local time about "what appeared to be a human head, on the side of the road." According to information from the outlet and the BBC, one head was found with a banner with a name attributed to a criminal group: "La Barredora." Translated from Spanish to English, it means "the sweeper." Indian to be deported after fatal wreck: Truck driver charged in crash that killed 3 on Florida Turnpike Who do the human heads found in Mexico belong to? As of Aug. 20, local authorities had not released the victims' identities. A motive in the case was not immediately known. Prosecutors said they are working to determine who killed the victims, clarify what happened and hold accountable those found responsible. Under pressure from Trump: Mexico sends 26 cartel members to US 'A bold bilateral initiative' launched by DEA The announcement came the same day Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the country's government did not have an agreement with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) over an operation called "Project Portero," Reuters reported. Sheinbaum's announcement, according to the outlet, came one day after the DEA said in a statement it was launching a "bold bilateral initiative with Mexico aimed at dismantling drug smuggling corridors." "The DEA issued this statement; we do not know on what basis. We have not reached any agreement through any of the security agencies with the DEA," Sheinbaum said during a news conference. "We do not know why they put out this statement." The move also came the same day Boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. was deported to a jail in Mexico after his arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was being held at a prison in the northern Mexican state of Sonora, according to the country's national arrest registry. Chávez Jr. is facing allegations that he acted as a henchman for the Sinaola cartel, a recently U.S.-designated terrorist organization. His arrest came four days after losing a boxing match to celebrity boxer Jake Paul. The discovery of the heads also came after Mexico, last week, shipped 26 suspected cartel members to the United States amid a push from President Donald Trump to dismantle the country's powerful drug organizations. Authorities sent prisoners wanted in the United States in connection with drug-trafficking ties, according to Mexico's attorney general's office. Country leaders said the U.S. Department of Justice had requested their extradition and would not seek the death penalty for the charged cartel members. It was not the first time Mexican authorities sent prisoners to the United States for similar reasons. In February, officials sent more than two dozen alleged cartel members over the border.

Mexico says there's no agreement with DEA for new border enforcement collaboration
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's president denied on Tuesday that her administration had an agreement with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, a day after the U.S. agency announced 'a major new initiative' to collaborate in the fight against drug cartels. President Claudia Sheinbaum was referring to 'Project Portero,' an effort announced Monday by the DEA, which called it a "flagship operation' against smuggling routes that move drugs, guns and money across the border. 'The DEA put out a statement yesterday saying that there is an agreement with the Mexican government for an operation called Portero,' Sheinbaum said during her morning news briefing. 'There is no agreement with the DEA," she stressed. "The DEA puts out this statement, based on what we don't know. We have not reached any agreement, none of the security institutions (have) with the DEA.' Sheinbaum said the only thing that was happening was a workshop in Texas attended by four members of Mexico's police force. Later, without addressing Sheinbaum's criticism, the DEA said coordination with its Mexican counterparts on the training was 'a significant step forward in advancing and strengthening law enforcement and intelligence sharing with partners regarding an issue that has positive implications on both sides of the border.' Monday's DEA statement mentioned that workshop, saying it had brought Mexican investigators to one of its intelligence centers to train with U.S. prosecutors, law enforcement, defense officials and members of the intelligence community. Mexico's visibly annoyed president made her comments just days after generally positive exchanges between the two governments following another extension to ward off threatened U.S. tariffs and another shipment of 26 drug cartel figures to the United States from Mexico. Mexico had seemed to be repairing the security relationship with the U.S. after six years of tension under Sheinbaum's predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who had reined in DEA agents operating in Mexico and accused the agency of wholesale fabrication when it arrested Mexico's former defense secretary. Sheinbaum's administration had taken a more aggressive stance toward pursuing Mexico's drug cartels and sent dozens of cartel figures sought by prosecutors to the U.S. Sheinbaum did say that members of her administration had been working for months with U.S. counterparts on a broader security agreement that was practically finished. She said that agreement was based on four principles her administration has stressed for months: sovereignty, mutual trust, territorial respect and coordination without subordination. The thing that seemed to have her bristling Tuesday was the DEA sending out a statement without proper coordination. Sheinbaum said she asked the DEA to respect Mexico, to follow agreed-upon protocols for such announcements, and emphasized that Mexico only signs agreements with the U.S. government, not with individual agencies. The DEA statement included a comment from agency administrator Terry Cole, who was recently tapped to lead the Trump administration takeover of the Washington D.C. police. 'Project Portero and this new training program show how we will fight — by planning and operating side by side with our Mexican partners, and by bringing the full strength of the U.S. government to bear,' Cole said in the Monday statement. ___ Associated Press writer Alanna Durkin Richer in Washington contributed to this report. ___ Follow AP's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at Solve the daily Crossword
