Early last month, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe authorized troops to help ICE agents with clerical duties as arrests spike under the Trump administration.

Donnie Walters leads the Ethical Society of Police, St.

Louis' black police union.

He says the heavy-handed tactics from federal agents and troops seen in some cities across the country makes them worry about what happens after they leave.

Walter says sending in more troops and ICE agents doesn't reduce crime.

Job training and equal access to education and housing does.
