It’s done all the time, with the FBI teaming up with local and state law enforcement. Is it for show? Some of it is, yes, by design.

Section 1. Purpose. Every tax dollar the Government spends should improve American lives or advance American interests. This often does not happen. Federal grants have funded drag shows in Ecuador, trained doctoral candidates in critical race theory, and developed transgender-sexual-education programs. In 2024, one study claimed that more than one-quarter of new National Science Foundation (NSF) grants went to diversity, equity, and inclusion and other far-left initiatives. These NSF grants included those to educators that promoted Marxism, class warfare propaganda, and other anti-American ideologies in the classroom, masked as rigorous and thoughtful investigation.
The harm imposed by problematic Federal grants does not stop at propagating absurd ideologies. ..."

Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Endemic vagrancy, disorderly behavior, sudden confrontations, and violent attacks have made our cities unsafe. The number of individuals living on the streets in the United States on a single night during the last year of the previous administration — 274,224 — was the highest ever recorded. The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental health condition, or both. Nearly two-thirds of homeless individuals report having regularly used hard drugs like methamphetamines, cocaine, or opioids in their lifetimes. An equally large share of homeless individuals reported suffering from mental health conditions. The Federal Government and the States have spent tens of billions of dollars on failed programs that address homelessness but not its root causes, leaving other citizens vulnerable to public safety threats.
Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order. Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other..."

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management published a proposed rule on April 23 that would introduce a worker classification known as “Schedule Policy/Career” — a successor to the “Schedule F” order that President Donald Trump issued toward the end of his first term but ran out of time to implement. The public is invited to comment on the proposed rule by May 23.
Employees who may be reclassified as Schedule Policy/Career include staff who have “substantive participation and discretionary authority in agency grantmaking,” the rule states. ..."
