Other red states have made similar moves in blue cities even as crime in those cities has decreased sharply from pandemic-era highs. And now President Donald Trump is borrowing from the playbook, sending federal agents and National Guard troops to patrol the nation’s capital and threatening to do the same elsewhere.
“It’s part of the narrative that these cities are incapable of administering public safety even though crime is on a downswing since the pandemic,” said Jorge Camacho, an associate research scholar in law at Yale Law School. “You still need a foil to blame for problems that are real and imagined. I expect to see that wielded for the foreseeable future.”
I worry that if I just moved anywhere else in the U.S. there might come a time when blue states get invaded by red and the same problem I ran away from just follows me there.

I know I can’t just go to another country without a job, and I really don’t have the money to just pack up everything and leave anyway. A friend of mine recently tried to do this and got turned away at the Canadian border bc they didn’t believe she was just coming to stay for short visit.
It think the POTUS can only treat immigrants like garbage, shit talk other countries, and repeatedly threaten to invade them so many times before they start to keep receipts.
