Janessa Goldbeck, a former US Marine Corps captain & chief executive of the Vet Voice Foundation, a non-profit advocacy group, said the order represented “an attempt by the president to normalize a national, militarized police force”.

She predicted that force would be used to send #troops to #states led by #Democratic governors without their permission & could be used to suppress turnout and disrupt the fair operation of #elections.

#billionaire and #Trump mega #donor Timothy #Mellon “contributed” $130 million to the #US #military to help pay #troops during the #GOP shutdown. Trump praised him as “a great #patriot,” but the math doesn’t lie: $130 million covers less than 7 hours of the #military payroll or around $100 per soldier. “That’s 6.7 hours of pay for our troops."

#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.

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 #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.
