Trump is creating a secret police force to deploy into and terrorize American cities as he pleases.

The Pentagon has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces in every state and territory by January that are trained and equipped to respond to riots and civil unrest within the U.S.
Pentagon Orders National Guard to Establish Quick Reaction Forces for Civil Unrest, Riots
