TL;DR

Mayors of major Democratic cities, all of whom are Black, respond to President Trump's threats of federal intervention, emphasizing that crime rates are down in their cities and opposing Trump's plans to militarize or federalize local law enforcement, while civil rights groups warn of broader authoritarian threats. Experts note Trump's actions are limited by legal constraints, especially outside D.C., and the mayors advocate for federal support in violence prevention rather than military intervention.
