"Whoa.
Officers trained in SWAT team tactics, sent to help with run-of-the-mill immigration arrests in major cities far from the border.Trump is using military-style tactics because he has a political beef with cities whose policies he doesn't like."

He and his ardent supporters like to boast about the "promises he has kept."

It's already happening.
