This is a direct result of defunding local authorities. Not the act of doing it but the propagation of the ideology that it's better to defend criminals than it is to defend victims. I'm not saying this EO is right or wrong, just saying that cause and effect is always part of the equation. Trump wouldn't have to bring in anyone to curb crime if crime were contained. But liberals have been fighting for several years now to allow crime to flourish, even supporting and encouraging crime that is liberally slanted. Again, not saying that is right or wrong since it is purely opinion based, just saying cause and effect are very real.
