There are dozens of rioters ON CAMERA from Lafayette Park last night and President Trump just authorized their arrest
2020-06-23
[Twitchy] President Trump tweeted this morning that he’s "authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property"

I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent.....

He also tweeted that it’s retroactive and "there will be no exceptions":

.....This action is taken effective immediately, but may also be used retroactively for destruction or vandalism already caused. There will be no exceptions!
