... "After we do this, we'll go to another location, and we'll make it safe also," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

"We're going to make our cities very, very safe," he added. "Chicago's a mess. You have an incompetent mayor [Brandon Johnson]. Grossly incompetent and we'll straighten that one out probably next. That will be our next one after this. And it won't even be tough."

Trump said there were "African American ladies, beautiful ladies," urging him to intervene in Chicago, a city that has long struggled with gun violence. He indicated his administration would focus next on Chicago and then others, such as New York City. ...

@#1 ... beautiful ladies ...

So odd for a President to say as he announces a military takeover of cities.

He's making Brownshirts of ICE and the Nat Guard for when the protests against him start around the country.

Axios Explains: Inside ICE's superpowers (June 2025)

... The images of masked, heavily armed immigration agents snatching people off the streets and taking them away in unmarked cars have shocked many Americans " and led to a simple question: Is all of this legal?

- - - It is -- at least for now.

Why it matters: Since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was created after the 9/11 attacks, its agents have operated with vastly more enforcement power, less transparency and fewer guardrails than local police.

- - - ICE's rules were designed largely to give the agency broad leeway in helping the FBI identify and arrest domestic terror suspects.

- - - Now the Trump administration is using that power to go after unauthorized immigrants " potentially millions of them -- with a frequency and aggressiveness that has sent ripples through communities nationwide. ...

They seem to be appearing now, in dribs and drabs, and highly redacted.

Its sad it has to come to that. Why did it get so bad?

Whats odd is to claim to be the party that cares about minorities, but do nothing directly for them.

How do people claim they are helping minorities when crime and murder runs rampant in minority neighborhoods, and then of all things, Biden sends illegal immigrants to compete with them for jobs, and you cheer for it.

Cruelty is the point!!

Trump must have raped a whole bunch of kids to warrant this level of distraction.

#11 | Posted by rstybeach11 at 2025-08-23 07:34 PM

Many people are saying it's a lot of raping, only the best raping, little girls were crying saying "oh, please rape me sir, I would be so honored" it was really something.

The National Guard in D.C. are patrolling tourist areas, not the neighborhoods where crime is happening.

Trump's to chickensh&& to send them there lest one of the weekend warriors get shot or something.

Mediocrity in action.

"The National Guard in D.C. are patrolling tourist areas, not the neighborhoods where crime is happening."

No problem since the DC police force is about 500 officer short, that frees up the DC police to tackle those areas of greater crime.

Except there aren't 500 Metropolitan DC police patrolling tourist areas.
There's no need because tourist areas are not high crime areas.
Most of that area is patrolled by Park Police, or Capitol Police.
And the Metro police in that area are mostly writing lucrative parking tickets.

You're an ignorant fool.

He can say what he wants. He has no jurisdiction to send the guard into Chicago. When the guard was sent into LA it wasn't to round up criminals. It was to protect federal property during a period of riots and to provide back up to ICE to carry out their work.

JURISDICTION?

"When Someone is the President of the United States,the Authority is Total, it's total and that's the way it's gotta be"

Trump doesn't give a flying ---- about JURISDICTION.

Trump, the pedophile criminal, talking about tackling crime is the height of hypocrisy.

No no, it was to protect ICE.

Federal Government has the right to protect Federal buildings and people enforcing federal law.

Except there aren't 500 Metropolitan DC police patrolling tourist areas.
There's no need because tourist areas are not high crime areas.

If they begin SoF in crime areas, criminals will just go to the tourist areas unless there is a LE presense.

Its not complicated, but it does require second order thinking.

#21 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-08-24 04:59 PM

Trump will probably use a Title 10 deployment, which is not meant for civilian law enforcement tasks like arrests, searches, and seizures.

Again it will be a SoF. To allow CPD to focus on high crime areas.
