A word like that is too big for his base to understand. They need something simple like the SS.

“As soon as I take office, we will immediately surge federal law enforcement to every city that is failing, which is a lot of them,” he continued. “To turn over criminal aliens, and we will hunt down, capture every single gang member, drug dealer, rapist, murderer, and migrant criminal that is being illegally harbored.

“I will ask Congress to pass a law outlawing sanctuary cities nationwide, and we demand the full weight of the federal government on any jurisdiction that refuses to cooperate with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement],” Trump added.

Title is misleading. He mentioned federal law enforcement specifically because when he tried to use the military in 2020 they told him to fuck off. It is certainly possible to make a force out of cops that’s a distinction without a difference to the people being taken but the distinction is very important because if the military does go for Trump then the course back to democracy becomes very bloody. A bunch of cops are much more like bullies, liable to stand down in the face of local ire.

All true, except your claim that the title is misleading.

Federal forces reads as indicting the cops and military to me. That’s why I think it’s misleading.
