    TL;DR:

    Trump just signed an executive order to send military resources (equipment, training, etc.) tonlocal police. Critics worry it could overstep civil liberties and violate laws limiting military involvement in civilian policing. The plan gives officials 90 days to figure out how to do it, and it’s likely to face legal challenges. Trump’s pushing hard on his “law and order” agenda, targeting sanctuary cities.
