President Trump has signed two executive orders promising to "unleash high-impact local police forces" and to step up law enforcement pressure on "criminal aliens." While the orders are separate, they share a White House vision of reinvigorated local police who work closely with federal law enforcement.

The order on policing calls on federal agencies to provide "new best practices" to state and local police, improve police training and pay, and improve the tracking and reporting of crime statistics, among other measures popular with law enforcement.

The order doesn't specify how to achieve those goals, but Peter Moskos, a former police officer and now professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, says on its face the first portion of the executive order is positive.
