Trump’s Militarized Occupation of D.C.: A Rehearsal for Takeover of Other U.S. Cities

Interview with Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, co-founder and executive director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, conducted by Scott Harris.

Mara Verheyden-Hilliard discusses her group’s response to Donald Trump’s militarized takeover of Washington, D.C., and growing concern that this is yet another test (along with Los Angeles) that is laying the groundwork for the deployment of the U.S. military to cities across the nation. She also assesses the possible future invocation of the Insurrection Act and suspension of constitutional rights.
