Just because “your city or the government of your city has fallen out of favor with the president” should “not be suspended by the American citizens to be occupied by the US military,” he added. Trump’s “provocative and arbitrary actions” are more of a threat than a guarantee of public security in Chicago.
The Republican President had ordered 300 national guards to the Chicago ruled by the Democrats at the weekend. He would “not close his eyes to lawlessness, the American cities haunted,” it said.
The largest city in the state in the northeast of the United States is not the only metropolis ruled by the Democrats that opposed the use of the National Guard by Trump. In Portland in the US state of Oregon, a federal judge prohibited the stationing of national guards for the second time on Sunday.
Trump had already sent the national guard to the cities of Los Angeles, Washington and Memphis, which were also ruled by the opposition Democrats. The US President justifies the controversial procedure with protests against the ICE foreigners, which occasionally have collapsed in recent weeks, and with supposedly shouting crime.
Trump has been pursuing a radical agenda to combat illegal immigration since returning to the White House in January. Especially in so -called sanctuary cities that grant migrants without a residence permit and belong to Portland, there have recently been protests against Trump’s rigid migration policy. These were triggered by raids masked and armed ICE official, who drove through residential areas in camouflaged vehicles and arrested numerous migrants.
In its radical approach, the US government is increasingly relating to war rhetoric, which has nothing to do with reality on site. Minister of Homeland Protection Kristi Noem told Fox News that Chicago was “a war zone”. “Criminals” would “destroy people’s lives there”. In terms of Portland, Trump explained that the city is burning. “There are insurgents everywhere.”
