"The Trump administration has controversially deployed federal agents in several U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Chicago, claiming it was necessary to fight crime.

Mayor Muriel Bowser, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker."
"Charlotte has been in the headlines after Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was stabbed to death on a train, the shocking and seemingly random crime captured by the train's security cameras. The man arrested for her murder, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., had a long criminal history, including violent crimes like robbery with a deadly weapon, and a diagnosis of schizophrenia, according to police."
Sen. Thom Tillis opposed deploying federal troops to Charlotte after a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska, was stabbed to death on a light rail train.

Local and state officials have denounced the federal crackdown, and most vocal elected opponents have been Democrats such as D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. The arrested suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., has a long criminal history and a diagnosis of schizophrenia, according to police.
