ICE–DEA Street Occupations

The executive deploys federal agents to occupy specific city blocks for weeks to break open‑air drug markets and force local compliance, while weaponizing footage and mugshots to shame 'blue cities.' This shifts federal law enforcement into de facto municipal policing with a built‑in media strategy. — Normalizing occupation‑style federal policing would reset federal–local boundaries, trigger civil‑liberties litigation, and entwine public safety with immigration and narrative warfare in national politics.
