Here are the facts of Trump’s orders to send the forces to Portland and Chicago

The battle over the sending of the National Guard to American cities during the weekend, is now playing in US courts, where conservatives in Oregon and Illinois are trying to prevent the administration of US President Donald Trump from deploying the forces.

Trump was distinguished by Portland as “War warfareAnd “under the siege of the attack by Antifa, and other local terrorists. Last week, the National Guard forces ordered to the city of Oregon. This was immediately challenged in court by the ruler, and throughout the weekend judge An end to military deploymentAt least now.

Also at the weekend, Trump ordered up to 300 members of the National Guard in Illinois (and 400 from Texas) to Chicago due to the objections of the JB Pritzker.

Conservatives, mayors, and citizens in both cities said that there is no chaos, and they said that a suggestion that they are ridiculous war areas. Here is a look at the legal battle and the situation in these cities.

Didn’t the forces already reach Portland?

Trump number He said on Wednesday The National Guard was “in place”, but this was not true. Indeed, since his order to send them, hundreds of forces have been transferred to the training facilities for preparation. Late last week, the National Guard said it would not reach this week as soon as possible.

Oregon has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, saying that the United States constitution only allows local military deployment in extreme conditions that include foreign invasion or rebellion.

The American boycott judge, Karen, agreed, and on Saturday a judgment to block the publication, saying that the relatively small protests in the city did not justify the use of federal forces.

The administration responded through the request of the National Guard forces from a different state, California, to Portland instead.

IMMERGUT seemed incredible in this step, and issued a new ruling on Sunday, which prevented the forces of any state from Oregon for 14 days.

And now Chicago?

Also on Saturday, Trump ordered hundreds of forces to Chicago, due to what White House spokesman Abeel Jackson described as “violent riots and non -law” that local leaders have not suppressed.

“This step was” very famous and non -American. ” On Monday, Illinois filed a lawsuit, on the pretext that Trump was only deploying the forces because he hates the ruler and the mayor.

The lawsuit says: “The American people should not, regardless of where they reside, should live under the threat of the occupation by the United States Army,” the lawsuit says.

The situation on the ground now

In Chicago during the weekend, the ICE and customs enforcement agents (ICE) stormed a residential complex by helicopters when families grew, and published chemical agents near a public school and was valued at the Chicago City Council members in a hospital.

There were also continuous protests at the ICE facility directly outside the city, where civil rights activists accuse federal agents of launching a campaign of violence against peaceful demonstrators and journalists.

Pritzker repeated this claim, saying that any chaos in American cities is caused by federal ice agents, not local citizens.

There were also clashes at the ICE facility in Portland on Saturday evening. The officers launched pepper balls and chemical irritants in the crowd to disperse them.

What prompted all this

Small but continuous protests began at the Portland ice facility during the summer. In one in mid -June, hundreds of demonstrators gathered, and some use the temporary multiplication scale to hit the door. Federal officers spread tear gas and flash bombs to dismantle the crowd.

During the month of July, there were more protests, which led to the arrest of dozens by federal agents and crime charges including assault and harmful federal property.

The local police, however, did not arrest and had a different impression on the situation. Sergeant described a group of about 30 demonstrators as “low energy and sits quietly.”

Perhaps another protest on September 1 was the last straw of Trump, when more than 100 people went to the ice building, and some withdraw a temporary guillotine.

Four days later, Trump said for the first time that he was considering federal intervention, claiming that the demonstrators destroyed the city.

Origon state officials knew this. The ruler, Tina Cotik, said that “the threats of the deployment of the National Guard forces in Portland” were “ridiculous, illegal and non -American.”

Portland citizens also returned.

“It is really difficult for me to see Portland mainly framed,” said Nate Hellman, the priest. to make video The challenge of describing the “destroyed war”. He traveled around him, seeing quiet streets and people who walk naturally across the city center. He said that the only hell in the city is bad traffic.

What happens now?

Which prohibits the forces from Oregon is currently for only two weeks. Oregon and California states say they will try to extend it.

But there is no indication yet that Trump will back down from this battle. Journalist Caroline Levitte said today that the administration would appeal the decision. “We expect a hearing very quickly and we are very confident in the president’s legal authority to do so,” she said.
