#Trump said he was “authorizing Full Force, if necessary” of US #troops to handle “domestic terrorists” in #Portland, Oregon as he expands his illegal #military deployments to more American cities.
Note the language: “War ravaged Portland” - he thinks calling #Antifa #terrorists & Portland a #war zone will get him around the #PosseComitatusAct.

#Trump orders deployment of #troops to #Portland
Trump on Saturday said he was directing #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth to send
troops to Portland & #ICE facilities.
"At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect *War ravaged* Portland, & any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by #Antifa, & other domestic terrorists," Trump posted.

#Trump, in comments Thursday in the Oval Office, suggested some kind of operation was in the works.
“We’re going to get out there & we’re going to do a pretty big number on those people in #Portland,” he said, describing them as “professional agitators & anarchists.”

Earlier in September, #Trump had described living in Portland [like he’d know] as “like living in hell” & said he was considering sending in federal #troops, as he has recently threatened to do to combat crime in other cities, including #Chicago & #Baltimore.

Judge Charles Breyer of the US District Court in San Francisco found this week that a similar operation in #LosAngeles earlier this year violated the #PosseComitatusAct, a federal #law that prohibits #US troops from participating in civilian law enforcement. The #Trump admin has appealed the ruling.

… “Expanded #ICE operations” are expected to begin in #Chicago as soon as this week, with #Trump & his senior advisers leaving it ambiguous whether a #military deployment will follow. Military planning reported last month has raised the possibility of either #NationalGuard or active-duty #troops being used.
Such a mission would almost certainly be contested in court.

The approval, which has not previously been reported, comes after #DHS sought permission late last month for agents with #ICE & other law enforcement personnel to use the base. It also comes as Gov #JBPritzker & other top officials in #Illinois decry #Trump’s aggressive tactics, lack of coordination & characterization of #Chicago as a “hellhole” of crime requiring #federal intervention.

The #Pentagon has approved the use of a #Navy base on the outskirts of #Chicago as a staging ground from which the #Trump admin can [purportedly] launch operations against undocumented immigrants….
#NavalStationGreatLakes will serve as a hub in upcoming operations overseen by #DHS….
It could also potentially be used as a place to house #NationalGuard or active-duty #military#ServiceMembers, if #Trump orders a surge of #US #troops to the city, as he did in #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC.
A federal judge’s scathing opinion explains why Trump’s deployment of #troops to #California was more than just an overreach.
The #Trump administration broke the #law. Its officials knew they were breaking the law. And they’ll likely try to do so again.

Personnel from #WestVirginia arrived Monday, with troops from #SouthCarolina, #Mississippi & advance teams from #Ohio & #Tennessee expected to arrive Tuesday, a defense official said.….
[The #NationalGuard troops are]…operating under the command of Joint Task Force DC, which will decide where in the city to send troops in coordination w/agencies asking for assistance.

The number of state #NationalGuard #troops detailed to Trump’s effort from the 6 states — #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Tennessee, #WestVirginia, #SouthCarolina & #Ohio — amount to >1,100. Governors said they were responding to requests from the #Trump admin.
It is not clear why the admin requested additional support. About 800 troops have already been called up from the #WashingtonDC, Guard & have had a limited assigned role so far in Trump’s 10-day-old attempted takeover of #DC #law enforcement.
It would be a departure from what the #Pentagon & #Army have said about the #troops being unarmed. The Army said last week that “weapons are available if needed but will remain in the armory.”

The proposal being evaluated now would allow the president to mobilize #troops & put them on #Title32 orders in a #state experiencing unrest. The documents detailing the plan acknowledge the potential for #political friction should the #governor refuse to work with the #Pentagon.
Some #legal scholars expressed apprehension about the proposal.
[I should think!]
