Law and Order: President Trump to Send Federal Agents to Chicago, Albuquerque

Bravo! The pro-criminal mayor of Chicago is predictably not happy. That’s how you know that the POTUS is making the right decision. Send Federal agents to New York City as well, Mr. President.

The silent, battered majority cheers ……

Report: Trump to Send Federal Agents to Chicago, Albuquerque

Story continues below advertisement

By Breitbart, July 22, 2020

President Donald Trump will send federal law enforcement agents to Chicago and Albuquerque as violent crime continue to plague the Democrat-controlled cities, according to a Wednesday report.

The expansion of Operation LeGend, a Justice Department operation that includes agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, Drug Enforcement Administration and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, comes without the express invitation of local mayors, some of whom are threatening to fight the surge of federal forces in the courts.

The federal law enforcement agents sent to Kansas City and other cities under Operation LeGend are from the Department of Justice. Tim Garrison, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri, assured Kansas Citians earlier this week they would not be engaging in the same activities as the DHS agents in Portland.

McClatchy‘s report comes after Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) said Tuesday evening that she will not allow “Donald Trump’s troops to come to Chicago and terrorize our residents.”

Earlier Tuesday, Lightfoot said that she expects the Trump administration to send federal agents to help the city combat crime, but would operate in a different capacity than law enforcement officers in the riot-plagued Portland.

“What I understand at this point, and I caveat that, is that the Trump administration is not going to foolishly deploy unnamed agents to the streets of Chicago,” the mayor told reporters at a press conference. “We have information that allows us to say, at least at this point, that we don’t see a Portland-style deployment coming to Chicago.”

“Unlike what happened in Portland, what we will receive is resources that are going to plug in to the existing federal agencies that we work with on a regular basis to help manage and suppress violent crime,” she added. “I’ve been very clear that we welcome actual partnership, but we do not welcome dictatorship.”

This week, Lightfoot joined Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) and other mayors in demanding the federal government remove its law enforcement agents from their cities.

Should the Federal Government have the power to enforce local state law? Yup, if the State is doing an extraordinarily crappy job. The U.S. President is the U.S. citizen’s employee. U.S. citizens have U.S. Constitutional rights.

Breaking | Trump Signs Executive Order Banning Illegals From 2020 Census Count For the Purpose of Congressional Representation

By Eric Thompson -July 21, 2020

Trump aims to bar those in the US illegally from reapportionment

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum Tuesday that seeks to prevent illegal aliens from being counted in congressional reapportionment, a move that drew immediate criticism and promises of court challenges on constitutional grounds from the open border, anti-American activists.

It comes down to law and order! Let’s see what Chief Justice Roberts does this time.

Just how are you going to separate the legals from the illegals? The census in most States does not differentiate between the two. It is the census from which the reapportionment takes place.

i still believe that trump is making a boneheaded political move to interfere with the self-immolation of the democrat-run cities. i would encourage american businesses to pull out of the cities and invest themselves in a white suburb with a democrat minority. cannot fathom why institutional investors are still building things in these democrat-run shiite holes

This is probably a losing battle for president Trump. He’d be better off laying siege to the cities like New York, Portland and Chicago then offering safe passage and relocation funds to the people that want out then raze the cities selling the bodies to farmers for fertilizer.

If the President does nothing, that is a dereliction of duty that the liberals running these cities into the ground are already guilty of. It’s Federal property, and if local and state politicians are also letting lawlessness spread on purpose – then those state and local officials are also guilty of unconstitutional violations of the rights of law-abiding citizens. Voting should have nothing to do with this decision. It’s his job, and unlike the liberals running things there who are too busy performing fellatio on their BLM masters, by his actions the President is standing up for all citizens there- even the purple-haired hemped-up loony batty pieces of moonfruit.

i disagree. these are well-coordinated and financed mobs destroying these cities with the approval and apparent support of the elected mayor and governor, and therefore with the tacit approval of the majority of voters in those cities and states. if the locals won’t do something about it, why should the president or I care? if you live in those cities and states that are immolating themselves, leave, you can’t fight a suicidal majority.

what percentage of the “poor” voters do not vote democrat? my guess is that 100% of the “poor” vote has gone to elect the very people who are overseeing the destruction of these poor peoples’ lives. sorry, but elections have consequences, and people in those cities and states are reaping what they sowed. this nonsense is only going on where people vote democrat

by “american businesses” you mean “behemoth american businesses”. and yes, those giants are without exception allied with and run by democrats. and yes, they conduct themselves to be the last one eaten. i worked for a big oil company long ago, went to a meeting one time where their DC lobbyist spoke, and to this day am still dumbfounded by his glowing pat on the back of how he was funding and supporting the local democrat congressman who was doing more than any other democrat to destroy big oil.

not crass. these are unprecedented times, where elected mayors and governors are supporting and participating in mob violence against innocents and their property and their lives. the problem is the voters in those cities and states, not the elected officials, the majority of whom apparently approve of the insurrections and lawlessness. historically, the proper response by trump would be to declare martial law in these cities and states, arrest the elected officials, and have these areas run by the military until order is restored and new elections held. the problem is that the new elected officials would probably be just as bad, or worse, than the arrested ones. we are in the midst of a civil war being waged by the democrat party, and short of rounding up tens of millions of americans and putting them in camps, i think the best solution is to let them burn themselves to the ground, and to tell the non-democrat minority to leave and take everything with them.

Lori Lightfoot: “Under no circumstances will I allow Donald Trump’s troops to come to Chicago and terrorize our residents.”

Yeah, that job – to terrorize residents – is reserved for her homies who actually live in Chicago! And who she lets run wild, shooting and killing not just each other but also innocent men, women and children, especially on weekends but they will also kill you on weekdays if they feel like it…

The President is more compassionate than I am in this case – I would let these cities self-destruct and not give them aid of any kind, no troops no taxpayer money no nothing. They keep voting for petty tyrants whose only talents are virtue signalling and posturing – actually governing and making things better is beyond their abilities. You make your bed, you lie in it.

Everything that has happened will only serve to cement Conservative rule, don’t fall for the seditious propaganda pushed by the media. The narrative is collapsing like the flimsy house of rotten cards it always was. BLM slogans are being erased off roadways all over the country. The ‘peaceful protesters’ are now being treated like the communist thugs they are. The Twitter mobs have wheezed themselves into little more than croaking parrots, everyone needs to stop pretending they have any power over the real world. Stamp Leftist Cancer out wherever it threatens to rot the bones of civilized society, and stay resolute in making sure this election does not turn into a Democrat circus where ‘mail in ballots’ are still being counted weeks later, while the Soros machine hits redline attempting to manufacture a reality that does not exist and never will. Rise up in full support of the police, jeer and mock the last desperate screeches of the cancel culture cultists. In their desperation, the Commies have overplayed their hand. They have run out of gas before the home stretch. The demented zealots running these Democrat nests are going to be feasted upon by their own shambling zombie hordes, who will have no choice but to wake up and join the real world once their cities crumble into dystopian hellscapes from which there is no escape.

Lightfoot is patronizing her political support base, which is radical leftist.

This is where American politics is today, mayors of big cities kowtowing to the most radical elements, and then they get the votes of those groups so they can stay in office.

It has reached the point of no return, where it’s a self perpetuating system of radicalism by mayors earning support by radical elements at the election so they continue to run the city and then they gain access to public money so they can keep growing exponentially.

There are a few tax payers who are actually working and funding the system to keep it going.

This is the testament for the value of smaller towns rather than gigantic cities. The gigantic cities such as Chicago, New York, DC, Detroit, LA, even places like Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, are so big people can’t move a few miles and escape to a town without corruption.

The gigantic cities are large enough that they can support a large group of radical extremists who can take over the city and run it for their own benefit while exploiting people who are willing to work for a living rather than run a continual community organizing effort with themselves being at the top and profiting from the mayhem.

What these cities need is 20,000 troops apiece to establish and maintain order until the “leaders” can be replaced by the election process.

The USA should pick either the easiest cities, or the worst cities, to refine a procedure, and then duplicate the procedure across any US city where rule of law is no longer present.

Likely mayors and city councils which have been or are directing their police forces not to prevent violent rioting, property damage, looting and arson have issued or are issuing their police forces unlawful orders.

In the military, which was my primary experience, uniformed personnel, perhaps especially officers, are not to follow an unlawful order.

While uniformed personnel are obliged to follow lawful orders, they are prevented by law from following an unlawful order.

This has placed police officers in the unenviable position of following the unlawful orders of elected officials, which may mean in some cases, following unlawful orders.

The defense of “just following orders” was stated by Nazi officials and military personnel at the Nuremberg War Trials, and was determined not to be a defense for war crimes.

Victims of the recent rioting, looting and arson, which in many cases wasn’t stopped due to political elected and appointed leadership preventing police from doing their job, likely will bring suit against political entities such as cities and states and likely will sue cities and states for damages from not carrying out basic public services such as police protection.

The current situation in Portland, where there has been continuous rioting for weeks, going on 40 or 50 days in succession, and the police have been restrained from preventing it, also may be a situation where unlawful orders have been issued by city governments and even state governors.

The situation is reaching the point where rioters, especially ring leaders and king pins, are likely engaging in terrorists activities.

The federal government is involved in fighting terrorism, and that may be what some of the rioting has devolved into.

Terrorists don’t have the same privileges as ordinary citizens, and can be detained as combatants apprehended on the battlefield. Terrorists have been detained at the Guantanamo Bay Terrorist Detention Center where their detention is performed by the military services. Terrorists are entitled to legal representation, however they likely don’t have the same citizenship privileges are ordinary criminals.
While the Obama administration did attempt to try terrorists as ordinary criminals in criminal courts, such as 9/11 terrorists being tried in New York, eventually that approach was abandoned as best I can tell, and terrorists were detained at Guantanamo detention facility and I believe were tried in courts there as well.

Since antifa has been designated a terrorist organization, antifa participants may possibly be detained at Guantanamo. I am uncertain of the status of rioters, especially those who appear to be associated with antifa, which is a general designation for anarchists, possibly they will be detained at Guantanamo, both to protect the public and to obtain intelligence about potential terrorist plots and operations.

Just to protect real property! What about our rights? When will the President protect them? Of course the so called citizenry of the lawless cities and states did elect their worthless lawless corrupt leadership and at least the majority get what they deserve for that! But the federal government is responsible for all citizens , even those to stupid to care for themselves and certainly for the rights of the minority! It is far past time for the Trump Admin. to protect those citizens by what ever means necessary!
