Whose City Is It Anyway? When the Feds Take Over Main Street
Manage episode 507201119 series 3671360
What happens when Washington decides your city isn’t really yours anymore? In this episode of Sideways Look, Dr. Paul unpacks the growing trend of federal takeovers in America’s cities, from D.C.’s police force to National Guard deployments in Memphis and federal raids in Los Angeles.
We’ll explore the legal loopholes that make this possible, the politics of “law and order,” and the real impact on communities that suddenly find federal agents patrolling their neighborhoods. Is this about public safety, or is it about power and precedent?
Join us as we take a sideways look at a question few are asking: Whose city is it anyway, yours or Washington’s?
