#GiftArticle100% #IllegalChicagoans will not take this crap#Pentagon plans #military deployment in #Chicago as #Trump eyes *crackdown*
Military officials are sketching out a plan that could deploy a few thousand #NationalGuard members, officials said. The use of #ActiveDuty forces has also been discussed.#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny https://wapo.st/4mvKFW3

The #Pentagon has for weeks been planning a #military deployment to #Chicago as #Trump claims he wants to crack down on *crime*, *homelessness* & undocumented #immigration, in a model that could later be used in other major #cities….
The planning, not previously disclosed, involves several options, including mobilizing at least a few thousand members of the #NationalGuard as soon as September to what is the third most populous city in the #US.#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #tyranny

The mission, if approved, would have parallels to the polarizing operation that #Trump ordered in #LosAngeles in June, when he deployed 4,000 members of the #California #NationalGuard & 700 active-duty #Marines despite the #protests of state & local leaders. The use of thousands of active-duty troops in #Chicago also has been discussed but is considered less likely at this time, said 2 officials….#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

@Nonilex Legality is not something which bothers #Trump as is now crystal clear. The #SCOTUS situation does not help matters either.

The #Chicago effort would further expand Trump’s use of #military force domestically, even when state & local authorities call the idea unwelcome & unwarranted. Admin officials have defended such deployments, arguing [without irony] that they are taking necessary steps to bring back law & order [despite many admin officials being convicted criminals themselves].#Trump #law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

@Nonilex I wish the news media would stop referring to these actions as "crackdowns." They're establishing a military presence in cities that tend to elect Democrats.

#Trump on Friday touted his ongoing #NationalGuard intervention in #DC, where more than 2,200 #NationalGuard members have been deployed in what he has cast as an overdue effort to crack down on *crime*. He zeroed in on #Chicago as the next target.

“Chicago’s a mess. You have an incompetent mayor. Grossly incompetent,” #Trump said, in remarks that were immediately dismissed by #Chicago leaders as unfounded. “And we’ll straighten that one out probably next. That’ll be our next one after this. And it won’t even be tough.” [He’s in for a rude awakening]#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #NationalGuard #military #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

The officials familiar with the matter said that a #military *intervention* in #Chicago has long been in planning, probably in conjunction with expanded operations by #ICE to search for undocumented immigrants.#Trump #law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #NationalGuard #military #immigration #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

The deployment would come as federal authorities look for new ways to intensify the identification & #deportation of undocumented immigrants, including an expansion of ICE & efforts to challenge “#sanctuary” policies, as they seek to meet a directive from White House Deputy Chief of Staff [& Nazi] #StephenMiller to make at least 3,000 arrests per day.#Trump #law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #NationalGuard #military #immigration #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

The #Pentagon’s plans for future deployments come as the #Trump admin pressures state & local leaders to allow the #FederalGovernment to do more to find & deport undocumented immigrants. AG #PamBondi recently sent a letter to numerous state, county & local leaders stating that “#sanctuary policies” impede law enforcement & will be legally contested.#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #NationalGuard #military #immigration #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker & #Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson, both #Democrats, hit back at #Trump in comments Friday….“After using #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC as his testing ground for #authoritarian #overreach, Trump is now openly flirting with the idea of taking over other #states & #cities. Trump’s goal is to incite fear in our communities & destabilize existing public safety efforts—all to create a justification to further abuse his power,” Pritzker said.#law #MilitaryState #tyranny

Johnson said in a separate statement that #Chicago officials take Trump’s statements seriously, but that they have not received any formal communication from the #Trump admin regarding additional law enforcement or #military deployments in the #city.
“We have grave concerns about the impact of any #unlawful deployment of #NationalGuard troops to the City of Chicago. The problem with the President’s approach is that it is uncoordinated, uncalled for, & unsound.”#law #MilitaryState #tyranny

#JBPritzker said in a statement Saturday night after this story was published that the state of #Illinois had received “no requests or outreach from the #FederalGovernment asking if we need assistance, & we have made no requests for federal intervention.”
He added that there is “no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois #NationalGuard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty #military within our own borders.”#Trump

#Trump has long described major US #cities as lawless, Democratic-run failures, fixating on #Chicago in particular. During his first campaign in 2016, he called off a political rally there before he took the stage after fights broke out between his supporters & political opponents.Recently, as Trump announced the deployment of the #NationalGuard in #DC, he claimed that crime was rampant in several other cities, hinting at a playbook for federalized crackdowns.#law #MilitaryState #tyranny

A president also can invoke the #InsurrectionAct to deploy active-duty #troops to perform law enforcement duties in the US, but such an act would be politically polarizing & trigger alarm in the #Pentagon. #Trump flirted with the idea in 2020, during unrest following the #police murder of #GeorgeFloyd in Minneapolis.#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #NationalGuard #military #immigration #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

#Trump deployed both the #NationalGuard members & a battalion of #Marines in #California in June while citing “incidents of violence & disorder” that had occurred during #ICE operations to round up undocumented immigrants. Under the law Trump used, #Title10, the #troops are generally prevented from being involved in law enforcement.#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #military #immigration #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

@Nonilex You have to love how white assholes like Trump hate places they have never been to and feel the need to "fix" them.TFG has never set foot in the Smithsonian. Nor the colleges he hates (because he did not actually get an education at his college) and he has certainly never been outside the limousine bubble in any city. His hatred knows no bounds and is not based on any data whatsoever. He hates everything that is not him. And there are hundreds of white psychopaths just like him, mostly in executive suites or driving huge black pickup trucks.

The #California deployment was contested in #court, with Gov #GavinNewsom (D) & other officials questioning whether #Trump had violated the #PosseComitatusAct, a federal #law that prohibits US #troops from carrying out civilian law enforcement actions. US District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that Trump’s orders violated the law, but his decision was halted by a 3-judge panel from the US Court of Appeals for the #9thCircuit in San Francisco.#MilitaryState #NationalGuard #military #tyranny

This month, Breyer oversaw a case in which #California officials again contested the legality of the deployment there. Admin officials said the #troops involved were not enforcing the law, but rather protecting federal buildings & law enforcement personnel. No final ruling has been issued. A couple hundred members of the California #NationalGuard remain involved in the mission in #LosAngeles.#Trump #law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

#Trump has faced fewer #legal challenges with his deployment of the #NationalGuard in #DC because the city is subject to federal oversight. As of Friday, more than 2,200 troops from the DC Guard & 6 #Republican states were involved in the mission under orders detailed by #Title32, the federal #law that governors can use to deploy National Guard members in other states.#PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #military #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #tyranny

@MylesRyden Unfortunately for Chicagoans, he has been here. All too often. Long before his political career, he had real estate ventures in Chicago. None of us ever liked the man. A friend of mine who owns a flower shop said it was always general knowledge to never take a job to do the flowers for his hotel because he never paid. He’s a low life cheat & crook. Always has been.

@Yoshi He can. But it depends under what law Trump claims he’s federalizing them. And then the Guard would have to decide whose orders to follow.

@Nonilex " It permits the president to issue orders to National Guard members if there is a “rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the government.”"This is all a setup to get troops subservient to #Trump into place and under Trump's command for #LaborDay Which is [checks calendar] Monday of next weekIt will be a full-blown, violent suppression of protected political demonstration -- all because Trump gets to now define what is "rebellion or danger of rebellion" without effective question or challenge from anyone #Law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #NationalGuard #Military #Immigration #Authoritarianism #Autocracy #Dictatorship #Tyranny

Monday in the Oval Office speaking to reporters #Trump said about sending in #NationalGuard troops to other #US cities: “We go in, we will solve #Chicago in one week.” At the same time, Trump continues to hedge about whether he plans to move ahead in Chicago [he doesn’t want to be definitive until #troops are minutes from deployment, lest the inevitable lawsuits foil his plans.]#law #US #military #MilitaryState #authoritarianism #autocracy #tyranny #Gestapo #coup #TrumpCoup2
