Why Does Trump want to deploy the National Guard?
Trump is Looking for Ways to Deploy the National Guard in Portland, The Largest City in the State of Oregon. Accordance to Trump, National Guard Troops Are Needed to Secure An Ice Immigration Complex Against Protests.
Officials in Oregon Disagree. There are indeed protests in Portland Against Ice’s Aggressive Actions. But Officials Emphasize That Trump Makes The Protests Against Ice Much Larger Than They Actually Are. “There is no insurrection in Portland,” Oregon Governor Tina kotek Said on Sunday. “There is no threat to national security. Oregon is our home, not a military target.”
What is the National Guard?
Each US State has a National Guard Consisting or Reservists. The National Guards Are Part of the US Military.
Trump Authorized the Deployment of the Oregon National Guard in Portland Last Week. But the Judge in Oregon, a republican appointed by Trump, blocked that decision on Saturday. The Protests Trump is referring to are not violent or disruptive, accordance to the Judge.
The American President Did Not Leave It At that and Tried to Deploy the National Guard in Portland in Another Way. On Sunday, Sent Guard Troops from California to Portland, Without the Consent of the Governor of California. On Sunday Evening, The Same Judge in Oregon also Blocked That Attempt. She Called Trump’s Action An “Outright Violation” of the Ruling She Made Earlier.
At the same time, Trump is trying to deploy the national guard in Chicago (in the state of illinois). Those soldiers should come in part from Texas. In Chicago, Trump is also using protests Against the Government as a reason. The State of Illinois is trying to prevent the deployment of the national guard with a lawsuit.
In June and August, Trump Already Sent the National Guard to Los Angeles and Washington.
Why is the deployment of the National Guard controversial?
Trump is overriding the authority of state governors with his decision. Members of the National Guard Are Under The Authority of Governors, But The National Government Can also Call on the Guard in Emergencies.
That is not the case, the Judge Found. “There was no evidence that the recent protests in Portland Were Violent Enough to Justify Such Military Intervention,” America Expert Kirsten Verdel Explains in Conversation with NU.nl. “The Judge Ruled that the Federal Government May Have Violated the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. That Amendment Protects The Powers of the States.”
MoreOover, there is the Constitutional Principle that the Military is not Used to Maintain Order Within the Us, Adds America Expert Andrew Gawthorpe. “The National Guards Are Not, In Principle, The People Who Secure Government Buildings On The Street.”
Trump Only Sends the National Guard to Cities with a Democratic Majority. “That is intended to curb the power and influence of the democrats,” Verdel States. “His Deputy Chief of Staff of the White House is also Increasingly Saying that the Democrats Form” The Radical Left “And That The Democratic Party is a” Domestic Terrorist Organization. ” In This Way, Trump’s Camp, Tryping to Stifle All Criticism of the President is.
The American President Has had his sights set on democratic cities for some time, Gawthorpe Emphasizes. Last week, Trump Spoke in his speech to hundreds of generals about the cities as if “a war was raging from within.”
What does trump have to gain with the deployment of the national guard?
Trump Hopes, Among Other Things, to Score Points with his supporters in this way, Gawthorpe Says. “Combating crime is one of trump’s most important promises. And that also applies to immigration. The deployment of the Guard Appeals to his Loyal Voters, but also to the more moderate Independent Voters.”
The American President Wants To Show in this way that he is the one who can ensure Safety. “It is part of the process for him to disadvantage the democratic party,” Says Gawthorpe. “He claims that the democratic leaders of the state do not care for their residents.” So it is Necessary That I, Donald Trump, Send the National Guard. “
Gawthorpe does not rule out that trump is alreaDy Looking at the Presidential Elections of 2028. JB Pritzker, the Democratic Governor of Illinois, for Example, is Mentioned as a Possible Presidential Candidate.
The Deployment of the National Guard Has Been Blocked. Now what?
Trump Has Already Indicated that will Appeal Against the Judge’s Blockade. And if the case possible Comes Before the Supreme Court, The Outcome May Change.
“So far, Trump Loses 96 percent of all Cases Before Lower or Federal Judges,” Verdel Explains. “But as soon as cases on any theme go to the supreme court, trump wins in more than 80 percent of cases. There is a conservative majority of six Judges and Only Three Progressive Judges. Those Personally Were Her Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Him Himhtatives.”
Meanwhile, About Two Hundred Soldiers From The National Guard From California Are in Portland, Without Being deployed. The Judge’s Ban is Initially Valid for Two Weeks.
