EXTRA: Trump Federalizes DC Police & Dems' Heads Explode plus Admin Directs

By The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

In today's episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz:

  1. Federal Control of D.C. Police
  • Trump invoked Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act to place the D.C. police under federal control.
  • He declared a public safety emergency, citing high crime rates including murder, carjackings, and assaults.
  • Additional measures included: Reassigning FBI agents to nighttime patrols.
  • Deploying the National Guard.
  • Appointing a federal commissioner for the D.C. police.

2. Legal Justification

  • The podcast outlines constitutional and statutory authority for Trump’s actions: Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution.
  • D.C. Code Section 49-49 and the 1973 Home Rule Act.
  • Reference to Posse Comitatus Act and DOJ opinions that D.C. is legally distinct from other cities.

3. Criticism of Democrats and Media

  • Hosts argue that Democrats and mainstream media are unfairly criticizing Trump’s actions.
  • They claim Democrats oppose law enforcement and support policies that increase crime (e.g., no cash bail).
  • The podcast accuses the media of misrepresenting Trump’s actions as dictatorial.

4. Military Action Against Drug Cartels

  • Trump reportedly authorized military force against cartels like MS-13 and Cartel de los Soles.
  • The move is compared to Plan Colombia, a U.S. military initiative under President George W. Bush.
  • The podcast suggests this could be a turning point in combating drug-related violence and trafficking.
