Trump Signs Executive Orders to Militarize Police, Punish Sanctuary Cities and Refugees

A second order further militarizes local police departments, while providing legal resources to officers accused of abuses; it also seeks to undo federal consent decrees for departments that have committed civil rights abuses and seeks to punish local officials who “unlawfully prohibit law enforcement officers from carrying out duties.”

That’s not militarization, it’s promoting lawlessness and removing any remaining accountability.
