"President Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard troops to American cities in an egregious misuse of the military domestically.

Earlier this year, he responded to anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles by deploying thousands of federalized National Guard troops – despite objections from the governor. Then he seized control of Washington, D.C.’s police department and called out the National Guard to police the streets of D.C. And he’s threatened to deploy the National Guard in other major cities across the country.

The administration is also reportedly planning to send thousands of troops to ICE detention centers, turbo-charging ICE’s cruel operations to detain and remove immigrants while equipping military bases to detain more immigrants under dangerous, abusive conditions.

Make no mistake: These actions are dangerous for troops, immigrants, and all of us – and take the National Guard away from their normal jobs, like helping communities facing devastation from natural disasters. Tell Congress: Stop the administration from using military troops and bases for immigration arrests and detention. Stop the misuse of the military.

"We speak to civil rights lawyer Ben Crump about the ongoing epidemic of anti-Black police violence and impunity for law enforcement in the United States. Crump first comments on the sentencing of Brett Hankison, a former Louisville police officer who fired 10 bullets into Breonna Taylor’s home in 2020 during a botched raid, to 33 months in prison for use of excessive force. Although Hankison’s actions were “a violation of Taylor’s Fourth Amendment rights,” the Trump Justice Department had recommended only one day in prison for his sentencing. In court, “there was nobody advocating for Breonna,” says Crump.....

AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I’m Amy Goodman.
In a closely watched decision, this week a federal judge in Kentucky sentenced the former Louisville police officer who blindly fired 10 bullets into Breonna Taylor’s home in 2020 during a botched raid. Brett Hankison was sentenced to 33 months in prison for using excessive force during the deadly no-knock police raid that killed Breonna Taylor in her own home. U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings rejected the prosecutor’s recommendation to have Brett Hankison sentenced to just one day in prison, calling the effort “not appropriate.” Some of the bullets he fired penetrated the walls of a neighbor’s home, where a family was sleeping. Taylor was a Black 26-year-old emergency room technician whose killing sparked nationwide racial justice protests under the banner of “Black Lives Matter.”
