Trump on Saturday said he had authorised the use of “full force” if needed to suppress protests targeting immigration detention centres.
Oregon has responded by suing the Trump administration, arguing that the deployment of the National Guard to Portland is “unlawful”.
The lawsuit, filed on Sunday by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, called the move “provocative and arbitrary”, and said it “threatens to undermine public safety by inciting a public outcry”.
The deployment marks a further expansion of troop deployments in US cities, amid a wider crackdown by the Trump administration on illegal immigration.
Can these states send their own troops to combat the ones sent from out of state? Or could the states police combat them in the same way ice hunts people down?
It would probably be good for the states police public relations and boost respect.
Calling up troops costs a fortune, especially for what would amount to a slap fight. He’s doing this to be cruel to the Hispanic population while distracting from:
- him being in the epstein files
- economy is failing fast
- his health
- etc.
I think that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Each state affected by “ICE” or fmentia don’s antics should sue the entireity of the t-Rump administration. Demanding justice until it’s provided, and mobilizing their own means to remove criminals from office, like impeachement, etc.
