'Law and order' push shows a Trump no longer encumbered by naysaying aides or government guardrails

President Donald Trump is embracing tough-on-crime policies in his second term. He's deployed National Guard troops to cities led by Democratic officials, and has plans to do more. In some ways, taking a hard line against accused criminals has long been part of his brand. In his first term, he was reined in by some of his advisers. But those aides are long gone, and Trump sees political advantages in his crackdown heading into next year's midterm elections. Critics say his approach stokes racial divisions. But the White House says he's making good on a campaign promise to try and make cities safer.
