It's long been understood that one of the simplest and the surest ways to maintain the loyalty of the violent thugs you hire to oppress and kill on your behalf is to let them loot their victims.

Raping and pillaging, and all that.

Yes, and you can be sure that the raping is going on too. It was a regular thing before Trump's return. I can only think that at this point it is standard practice.
