Trump says troops “going in” to Chicago after judge rules use of National Guard illegal

[bongsaway]

Trump supporters, this is your party of law and order blatantly saying they will break the law.

What do you think trump supporters, is this ok with you?

Mere hours after a federal judge ruled that his use of U.S. troops in police actions in Los Angeles was illegal, President Donald Trump threatened to carry out a similar operation in Chicago.

Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump said that he still plans to deploy troops in the nation’s third-largest city over the objections of local and state leaders.

“We’re going in,” Trump said. “This isn’t a political thing. I have an obligation.”

Yes you do donald, you have an obligation to uphold the law not break it.

It's very clear Chicago is a dangerous place. It appears that democrats running the city government are OK with crime and more OK with lying about it. First job of government is to keep people safe. It seems that for democrats the first job is letting offenders off the hook for any and all crimes they commit in this city. Chicago is by no means the only city, mostly democrat controlled with huge crime and safety issues for the law abiding public. It doesn't have to be this way but democrats will not crack down on criminals.

Here is the catch 22:

The President continues to send troops in defiance of ANY court ruling. Now what?

If the citizens of Chicago are unhappy with how Democrats choose to handle crime, then they have every opportunity to elect someone different. Thus far, there is no reason to believe that Chicagoans want the National Guard deployed to their city.

Trump would again be violating the Posse Comitatus (the power of the county) Act which forbids the US military from engaging in police actions within these United States.

The Posse Comitatus Act Explained

The law generally prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

[The Populist Right]

Every person in the National Guard should refuse to go. They took an oath to the constitution and not to just do whatever a president says.

Why is it folks like you are so willing to dump on Chicago but never mention the cities with higher crime rates and are republican controlled? Why are you ignoring your own states problems with crime?

Courts just need to start throwing DOJs cases out right from the start. And as I've said repeatedly: start holding people in the administration in contempt.

 

[Loulit01]

The National Guard is only following orders.

It's obvious what this is.

Why is it against the law for the President to send assistance to cities plagued by crime, murder, violent attacks, gang activity, and rampant youth crime, especially when local governments refuse to protect law-abiding citizens? It's ironic that those who accuse Trump of breaking the law by using federal resources to support police and ensure public safety are the same ones demanding he provide various forms of social aid and funding for socialist initiatives, while allowing criminals to run wild. If Trump can't intervene in one area, how can he be expected to manage the other? The federal government already provides financial support to cities across the U.S. with federal funds. Addressing crime and ensuring the safety of Americans, no matter where they reside, is a key responsibility of the President, even more crucial than funding social programs.

 

[Loulit01]

Why is it against the law for the President to send assistance to cities plagued by crime,

Because the judge said so. Because the cure is worse than the disease. Because we have checks and balances for good reason. Because that's how our system of government works. Because if a Democratic president ignored court orders the right would throw screaming hissy fits and you know that's true.

Next question.

That's my main concern because I do think there is room to improve safety in certain neighborhoods in Chicago, and I wouldn't be opposed to some harsher measures - but only if that's what the people want. I was able to find a local news station that did a report on what they do want and since they are rightfully skeptical on how this would be handled under Donald Trump's incompetent self, I feel like we need to listen to the people.

Addressing crime while living in their exclusive members only beachside resort that they own. Trump has no clue about how the streets work and thinks The Big Bad Federal Government under him can just easily fix things, like putting a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound, the National Guard doesn't have the resources to fix anything long term.

You ought to brush up on the US Constitution, specifically the 10th amendment.

If the states and/or the people don't want the NG patroling their streets, Trump can **** off. It's spelled out in black and white clear as day in the Constitution.

Why do you support Trump ignoring the law?

 

[bomberfox]

Perhaps having a dictator was the heritage foundation’s plan all along.

 

[element94]

Chicago is not in the top ten of either overall crime, or violent crime, but Baltimore is. Baltimore is a criminal rampant shit hole.

Because those "law abiding citizens" don't want him there. There are federal troops being shoved down their throats. This is not about them. This is about political theater.

You guys are the party of law and order and a judge ruled it's a no-no. So as the party of law and order do you obey the judge's ruling or do you listen to trump's illegal orders? Assistance, is that what you tell yourself to justify it while states with higher rates of crime and Republican controlled don't get the same assistance?

Houston has a higher murder rate.

When is Trump sending the NG into Houston?

 

[Peacenik]

It's obvious what this is.

It's because it is a Democratic City.

Houston is more dangerous. Why not send troops into Houston? Because it is in a red state?

This is being done for political purposes. Trump doesn't care about adhering to the law. He breaks it right and left.

It is a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
