$138M wasted in the ICE raid on LA a few weeks ago. How much is the DC enforcement action going to cost?

"Under Trump, you now have the largest private police force in the world". Gavin Newsom, D. Governor, California.
"This police force is increasingly showing a tendency to not swear an oath to the Constitution but to the President of the USA.
Trump will be sending these police forces to voting booths and polling stations across America.
This is a real and serous moment in US history.
Every Amercian, Democrats and Republicans, should be scared to death of not only these authoritarian tendencies but these authoritarian actions by the President.
He is weakness masquerading as strength and that makes him more dangerous than most people believe."Comment

Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) admitted on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s “surge” of law enforcement in the city has dramatically reduced crime and made “neighborhoods feel safer.”
D.C. Mayor Bowser: We "greatly appreciate" the surge.
"The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings" in the city, she says, adding that "neighborhoods feel safer and are safer" because of it.

I am sure in any City in the world if you deploy 1,000s of armed military troops, crime will go into hiding until they leave.
This deployment is all a charade to make Trump look strong but like in LA once the troops leave everything returns to normal.
Meanwhile, tourism in DC is being crushed and millions of tourism dollars are going elsewhere.Comment

....eventually the cost to deploy these troops will get so great (estimated at $1M+ per day), they will be withdrawn and crime will return to DC's normal pre-invasion levels.
