Bondi and Hegseth ordered to look at how military can be used in domestic operations

The executive order - “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Civilians” - was signed by Trump at the White House on Monday ahead of his 100th day in office Tuesday.
