13:03Now PlayingDonald Trump signed executive orders arming the National Guard in Washington, D.C., escalating what civil rights attorneys call an unconstitutional takeover. Roland and Black Lawyers for Justice attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz explain why Trump has no authority to issue these orders, why they violate the Constitution, and why every officer who obeys could face personal lawsuits. This isn’t crime prevention — it’s authoritarian theater that targets Black America.
🔥 Trump arms the National Guard in D.C. under executive orders his own allies call unconstitutional.
🔥 Black Lawyers for Justice vow lawsuits against any officer who enforces these illegal orders.
🔥 Roland breaks it down: this is a reality show stunt, not crime prevention, and a direct threat to civil rights.
🔥 Project 2025 in action — using armed Guard units to defund and dismantle Black America.
