Along with rescinding former President Joe Biden’s executive orders on policing, Trump scrapped the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD), which logged more than 5,200 incidents of misconduct by federal officers and agents across various agencies.”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“”BOP and CBP employees comprised more than 70 percent of the more than 5,200 misconduct instances recorded in NLEAD between 2017 and 2024,” The Appeal reported. “BOP officers accounted for more than 2,600 incidents\u2014over half of all entries.”<\/p>\n
By deleting NLEAD, Trump isn’t protecting beat cops from woke witch hunts\u2014he’s covering for two of the most sprawling, unaccountable, and expensive law enforcement agencies in the federal government.”<\/p>\n
