The Trump administration is sending additional federal agents and funding to Cleveland, Milwaukee and Detroit, expanding a program that has targeted Democratic-run cities facing increases in violent crime.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the deployment of dozens of federal officers to the three cities to assist local law enforcement as part of Operation Legend. The administration has already sent agents to Kansas City, Mo., and Chicago as part of the program as Democratic leaders express reluctance about the government’s intentions amid clashes involving the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in Portland, Ore.

The Trump administration is doing this intentionally, to see if it can provoke civil unrest next to the suburban voters it wants to scare back into the fold.
