The Trump administration is deploying highly trained officers to boost arrests of unauthorised immigrants in cities including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, in the latest move against localities that adopt "sanctuary" policies to protect them from deportation.

This is crazy bananas stuff aimed at scaring white people who live no closer to, say, Baltimore than they do to the moon.

Should I be alarmed that the president* seems to want to set off a kind of civil war so he can butch himself up for television ads boosting him for re-election? Should I assume we’ve driven that deeply into the trackless frontiers of Crazyland?
Why the hell not? ..

From The New York Times:
-
Governors and other officials reacted angrily to the president’s move, calling it an election-year ploy as they squared off over crime, civil liberties and local control that has spread from Portland, Ore., across the country. With camouflage-clad agents already sweeping through the streets of Portland, more units were poised to head to Chicago, and Mr. Trump suggested that he would follow suit in New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and other urban centers. Governors and other officials compared his actions to authoritarianism and vowed to pursue legislation or lawsuits to stop him.
-
What happens the first time a state trooper or a city cop draws down on one of the nameless federal goons in camo in Philadelphia or Milwaukee? Worse, what happens the first time a Fed kills or wounds a citizen and the local LEO’s stand aside and do nothing? In either case, El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago wins because he gets the chaos in which he thrives plus great B-roll for the gang down in the video shop. And it’s not like he’s hiding it or anything.

“I’m going to do something — that, I can tell you,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “Because we’re not going to let New York and Chicago and Philadelphia and Detroit and Baltimore and all of these — Oakland is a mess. We’re not going to let this happen in our country. All run by liberal Democrats.” The president portrayed the nation’s cities as out of control. “Look at what’s going on — all run by Democrats, all run by very liberal Democrats. All run, really, by radical left,” Mr. Trump said. He added: “If Biden got in, that would be true for the country. The whole country would go to hell. And we’re not going to let it go to hell.”
-
This is crazy bananas stuff aimed at scaring white people who live no closer to, say, Baltimore than they do to the moon. It also is using the most serious power the government in such a transparently self-serving way that Juan Peron would stop and say, “Chill, jefe. Don’t be so obvious.”
-
The Department of Homeland Security has put about 2,000 officials from Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard on standby to be quickly deployed to cities. At least 200 members of “rapid deployment teams” were sent to Washington, D.C., Portland, Pennsylvania and Seattle, the agency said this month. Many tactical agents from those teams from Customs and Border Protection and ICE are now in Portland.

The Coast Guard?
Are we supposed to pretend this is all normal? Are we supposed to pretend we aren’t in the hands of a madman?
I’m going to need some guidance very soon.
