The American President Donald Trump Has Signed an Order on Monday to send the National Guard to Memphis. Trump Said that the Task Force would be a “copy” of the one he Sent to the Capital Washington in August.
“The deployment will include the National Guard, as well as the fbi,” Trump Told Reporters Duration A Signing Ceremony in the Oval Office. Other Federal Agencies are also Taking Action, Including the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), which has been criticized by some.
Accordance to Trump, The Deployment of Thesis Agencies in Memphis is Necessary “because of the crime that is going on.” Memphis had one of the highest murder rates of all American cities with more than 100,000 residents last year, accordance to fbi figures.
The President Sent National Guard Troops to Washington Last Month, because the Capital was allegedly plagued by Violence. In that case, The President’s Claim was not correct.
Thousands of people went to the streets to protest Against the National Guard. Accordance to Many Protesters, The Presence of the Troops Does Not Lead To Safety, But Rather To A Feeling of Fear. Federal Troops are also said to be used “aggressive tactics” that threaten civil rights.
Chicago Possibly Next in Line
Trump again mentioned that hey to take Similar Measures in Chicago. St. Louis and New Orleans are also said to be on his list.
The Mayor of Chicago Responded in August That the Military is not intended to “Occupy Our Cities”. Mayor Brandon Johnson also Questioned Trump’s Claim that the City is Being Flooded by Crime.
Serious Crimes Such as Murder (Down 31 percent) and Shootings (Down 36 percent) Were Actually Much less common last year, Accordination to Local Police Data.
Deployment of Guard in Los Angeles in Violation of Law
Trump First deployed the National Guard in Los Angeles, When Protests Against Immigration Raids Broke Out There. The Democratic Governor of California, Gavin Newsom was Against It, But Trump Did It Anyway.
A Federal Judge Ruled on September 2 That the Deployment of the Guard was in Violation of Federal Law and Issued an Order Prohibiting the use of Military Troops in California “To Enforce the Law.”
Trump is Receiving Criticism from Democratic Circles, but also from Civil Rights Advocates. Critics Argue That The Deployment Of The Task Force is Primarily Political Motivated Rather Than A Public Safety Strategy.
