Donald Trump has ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to look at how the United States military might be used to prevent crime.
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. It instructs Bondi and Hegseth to “determine how military and national security assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, and personnel” can be used to support domestic law enforcement.
