The #Pentagon has approved the use of a #Navy base on the outskirts of #Chicago as a staging ground from which the #Trump admin can [purportedly] launch operations against undocumented immigrants….
#NavalStationGreatLakes will serve as a hub in upcoming operations overseen by #DHS….
It could also potentially be used as a place to house #NationalGuard or active-duty #military #ServiceMembers, if #Trump orders a surge of #US #troops to the city, as he did in #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC.#law

The approval, which has not previously been reported, comes after #DHS sought permission late last month for agents with #ICE & other law enforcement personnel to use the base. It also comes as Gov #JBPritzker & other top officials in #Illinois decry #Trump’s aggressive tactics, lack of coordination & characterization of #Chicago as a “hellhole” of *crime* requiring #federal intervention.#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #MartialLaw #fascism #autocracy #authoritarianism #tyranny

@Nonilex Great Lakes Naval Station, north of Chicago, is the Navy's principal recruit training center. It has a long history. Associating it with Trump's militarization of American society and law enforcement is a travesty.

… “Expanded #ICE operations” are expected to begin in #Chicago as soon as this week, with #Trump & his senior advisers leaving it ambiguous whether a #military deployment will follow. Military planning reported last month has raised the possibility of either #NationalGuard or active-duty #troops being used.
Such a mission would almost certainly be contested in court.#law #PosseComitatusAct #MilitaryState #MartialLaw #fascism #autocracy #authoritarianism #tyranny

@Nonilex How strong are the fibers in a court order that they can hold-back tanks and bullets of determined, corrupted boy-men testosteroid freaky creeps who also only want to use children like Kleenex, on the lie-promise they'll also get to become rich white whisky sippers from the crypto they get paid to do all that violence first?

@kkarhan It does violate it. Trump counts on the courts taking a long time to rule then appeals appeals appeals & meanwhile he already has troops on the ground doing his bidding

Judge Charles Breyer of the US District Court in San Francisco found this week that a similar operation in #LosAngeles earlier this year violated the #PosseComitatusAct, a federal #law that prohibits #US troops from participating in civilian law enforcement. The #Trump admin has appealed the ruling.#law #Chicago #MilitaryState #MartialLaw #fascism #autocracy #authoritarianism #tyranny #NationalGuard #military #troops

@Nonilex they're looking for a reason to send in the troops with this ICE provocation. Classical Colonial tactic. #USPOL #Chicago #Colonialism

#JBPritzker, the #Illinois governor, has repeatedly decried any plan to send #troops to #Chicago without the consent of #state & local leaders. On Tues, he told reporters that “in the absence of significant federal coordination,” his team had gathered information from “patriotic officials inside the government & from well-sourced reporters about Donald Trump’s plan, which is to deploy armed #military personnel to the streets of Chicago.”#law #PosseComitatusAct #Trump #MilitaryState #MartialLaw

#Pritzker said #Trump was looking for “any excuse to put active-duty [#military] on our streets supposedly to protect #ICE,” & already had begun preparing members of the #Texas #NationalGuard for a deployment to #Illinois. TX officials have not commented on the issue.It’s unclear how Trump would legally send #US #troops to #Chicago without Pritzker’s consent. [he can’t legally, but that won’t stop him from doing it illegally, this is what happens when you elect a #CONVICTED #FELON!]#law

@Nonilex Pritzker should call up the Illinois National Guard to defend against the pending invasion. Let the courts sort out how the legality of that compares to the complete lawlessness of the Trump administration.

@Nonilex I’m sure they have the lawsuit ready and I would hope that the judge would stay his activities pending his decision which should be the same as California

@Nonilex Fun Fact: The now-closed Fort Sheridan next to Great Lakes was originally established thanks to a land donation by the Commercial Club of Chicago in 1887 in response to the 1886 Haymarket Square labor demonstration “riot”. The wealthy business interests wanted Federal troops nearby to suppress any future agitation by the rabble of Chicago.Gilded Ages really do be like that.

@Nonilex Only Trump's narcissism necessitates an appeal when he already owns DHS and the Judiciary and they're staffed top to bottom with Loyalists to the Crown. But Trump cannot tolerate a perceived loss even in a court system he owns, so....
