In a speech before an unprecedented gathering of hundreds of the nation’s top military commanders, President Trump declared war on major American cities. We have many cities in great shape, too, by the way. I want you to know that. But it seems that the ones that are run by the radical left Democrats, what they’ve done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they’re very unsafe places. And we’re going to straighten them out one by one. And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That’s a war, too. It’s a war from within. He also singled out Portland, Oregon, which Trump said was so overrun with crime and chaos that it “looked like World War II.” Trump criticized restrictions on the use of force by the National Guard and other military personnel on U.S. soil. Trump said he has removed those restrictions and, from now on, “they spit, we hit.” He praised members of the military for “pounding” gangs of “kids” in Washington, D.C.

Bulletin On Domestic Militarism And Repression

The strategy is clear, as well as the desperation. Domestic repression in the U.S. colonial/capitalist core is imperative to support the aggressive militarism abroad, the periphery, in the form of wars of aggression, political subversion, economic sanctions, and genocide that have become the consciously and intentionally chosen tools of a rapacious U.S. based global ruling class—a ruling class that is unable to rule in the old way. Yet, it's more than willing to blow up the world and sacrifice millions of people to maintain the predatory material basis for its white supremacist class rule. The irreconcilable contradictions of the neoliberal order that produced the dramatic swing to the right represented by the warmongering of the Obama administration and later succeeded by Donald Trump and Joe Biden, confirmed for the Black Alliance for Peace that its analysis that predicted an inevitable dependency on force and violence by the U.S. rulers domestically and globally was essentially correct.

Several days after US President Donald Trump announced his takeover of the local police force of Washington, DC, federal forces have begun patrolling the streets of the US capital. The Pentagon announced Thursday, August 14 that all 800 National Guard troops President Trump ordered into Washington’s streets this week to restore “law and order” have now been deployed. Defense Department Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson said that in rotating shifts of 100 to 200 unarmed soldiers, the National Guard will assist Washington police and federal law enforcement by guarding monuments and federal buildings, conducting “community safety patrols,” and engaging in “area beautification.”

Since Wednesday night, hundreds of federal agents and National Guard members have been patrolling the streets of Washington, D.C., after President Donald Trump placed the city’s police under federal control. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) set up checkpoints in several areas of the city and increased patrols in shifts covering 24 hours a day. On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said 19 agencies were part of a task force created by Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Trump Occupying DC: Washington Post Used To Be Disgusted

President Donald Trump has now put troops on the District of Columbia’s streets in both of his terms. This time around, the Washington Post is less alarmed. In addition to calling up 800 DC National Guard troops—which Trump can do because DC isn’t a state—he also seized control of DC’s police force in the name of a “crime emergency,” despite the city experiencing its lowest violent crime rate in 30 years. With DC’s self-governance under threat, the city’s paper of record is positioned to play a critical role. Right off the bat, Washington Post columnist Marc Fisher sounded the alarm about Trump’s actions, telling the New Yorker (8/11/25), “This is troops-in-the-streets, shades-of-authoritarian-rule bad.”

Trump Administration Wants To Turn US Cities Into Occupied Territory

By any rational measure, the Trump administration’s internal Department of Homeland Security memo—obtained by The New Republic—reads less like a briefing on immigration enforcement and more like a blueprint for domestic occupation. Strip away the bureaucratic throat clearing and what you find is blunt language: “homeland defense,” “personnel detailed within ICE and CBP,” “Al Qaeda or ISIS cells operating freely inside America.” The lines are being drawn. The administration is preparing to turn American cities into zones of military containment. Los Angeles, it turns out, was the test run. National Guard and Marines were deployed there under the excuse of protests, and the memo declares it a “good indicator of the type of operations (and resistance) we’re going to be working through for years to come.”
