“President Trump will not take an eye for the lawlessness that teases American cities.”
Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois had previously warned that he had received an ultimatum from the Trump government to “call on your troops, or we will do it”.

“It is absolutely outrageous and on-American to demand a governor that military troops will send within our own boundaries and to our will,” he said.

It is simply the last episode in Trump’s constant effort to use American troops in cities that he claims to be flooded with crime and disorder.

Right blocks Trump’s Portland -Ising

A judge on Sunday blocked the Republican president’s attempt to send the army to Portland, Oregon, another city of Trump, had set his sights.
Trump has repeatedly called Portland “ravaged by war” and drenched with violent crime, but in Sunday’s judicial order the American district judge Karin Immergut wrote: “The president’s determination was simply unbound by the facts.”

Although the city has seen spread attacks on federal officers and property, the Trump government did not demonstrate “that those episodes of violence were part of an organized attempt to overthrow the government as a whole,” Immergut wrote when granting a temporarily limiting order.

Recent protests in Portland were not “danger of rebellion” and “regular law enforcement forces” could handle such incidents, Immergut wrote.

Senator Ron Wyden, senator of Oregon, welcomed the order and said that the “victory supports what Oregonians already know: we don’t need Donald Trump or want him to sample violence by using federal troops in our state.”

Incident in Chicago shortly before the move of Trump

Hours before Trump gave the use of troops in Chicago on Sunday, a federal officer shot a motorist in the city after a group of cars in law enforcement vehicles, according to a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“Agents could not move their vehicles and left the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon,” said Assistant Secretary-Assistant-Secretary Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in social media.
