The Trump administration is preparing to roll out a strategy this week to send questionable military-style federal squads currently in Portland into other cities, warned White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who only called areas with Democratic mayors.
Attorney General Of The United States William Barr is “weighing in on that” with acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, Meadows stated Sunday on Fox News.
” You’ll see something presented today, as we start to go in and ensure that the communities– whether it’s Chicago or Portland or Milwaukee or someplace across the heartland– we need to make sure their neighborhoods are safe,” he included.
All three cities called are run by Democrats.
President Donald Trump likewise indicated that federal squads would likely target cities run by the celebration that opposes him. He stated on “Fox News Sunday” that “violence” was on the boost in “ Democrat-run cities“
” They are freely run, they are stupidly run,” he included.
Meadows doubled down on a crackdown in the face of a wall of criticism after federal officers in military-style fatigues without any recognition of their agency started roaming downtown Portland, Oregon, in unmarked vans recently to snatch people off the streets. Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi(D-Calif.) blasted the squads Friday as “stormtroopers … kidnapping protesters.”
Unknown stormtroopers. Unmarked vehicles. Kidnapping protesters and triggering severe injuries in reaction to graffiti.
These are not the actions of a democratic republic. @DHSgov‘s actions in Portland weaken its objective.
Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.

Oregon Attorney General Of The United States Ellen Rosenblum submitted fit in U.S. District Court Friday requiring an injunction to stop the unwelcome teams’ ” abduct and unlawful arrest” of citizens in actions the suit stated are clear violations of Americans’ First
