President Donald Trump is hoping to replicate his law enforcement efforts in Los Angeles and Washington, DC, in cities across the country, with the administration making moves to once again use the US military for its anti-crime agenda.

The pistols and powerful rifles guard members carry are similar to those local police use across the country. Troops have been told to use their weapons only as a last resort.

President Trump signed a series of executive orders doubling down on law enforcement, particularly related to Washington, D.C., but he equivocated on whether he will send troops to Chicago next.
