Claridge as an welcomes of the anger and unrest are growing in the United States following President Trumps announcement that he will send us federal troops into several democrat controlled cities he says theyre needed to deal with a surge in Violent Crime but the trump deployment of federal forces already operating in Portland Oregon has been targeting protesters demanding Racial Justice with the mayor himself caught in the crossfire. Mary i am a big state and its hard to bring the mayor of portland tear gassed by federal offices in the middle of his own city. Ted wheeler was in a group of protesters outside a federal courthouse he said he saw nothing which provoked this risk. Bonce. The irony is portland protesters are angered that the democratic man had backed his own city police using tear gas until a federal judge ordered it should only be used when there was a safety issue. For the 55th night in a row protesters flooded the streets of portland and a new chant was being sung. The feds go home a clear message to the federal agents deployed by the trumpet ministration to crackdown on demonstrators. The local governor a democrat didnt mince her words this is a dub ocracy not a dictatorship we cannot have secret police abducting people into and putting them in unmarked vehicles. I cannot believe i have to say that to the president of the United States i know that were going eons are outraged americans should be appalled but the controversy hasnt stopped President Trump announcing that more federal agents will be sent to other u. S. Cities today im announcing a surge of federal Law Enforcement into American Communities plagued by Violent Crime will work every single day to restore Public Safety protect our nations children and bring violent perpetrators to justice federal offices will be sent to albuquerque and chicago both democrat run cities critics say the deployment is political an attempt to make democrats weak on crime and to burnish trumps image as the more an order of president ahead of the november election the mayor of chicago says she welcomes a partnership with federal agents but warns against using the same tactics as in portland. Ive been very clear not happening in chicago we dont need federal troops we dont need unnamed secret federal agents roaming around the streets of chicago thats not democracy that we saw unfolding in the streets of portland as a result of this federal action thats what we call tyranny and dictatorship and were not having it in chicago residents of chicago say extra police wont solve the issues facing the city they say action on gun control would be more effective entitling Violent Crime. All this comes as trump faces an election this year as a whole is in secada and i asked her if trumps decision to send troops adjusts to cities controlled by democrats is being seen as politically motivated. Thats what many people say they say its not an accident that donald trump President Trump picks cities run by Democratic Leaders so he can say listen the democratic democrats are not able to bring peace to this country through these cities to End Gun Violence to end violence on the grid on the streets it needs me it needs a law and order man whom i am to finish this this situation so sure its not an accident that he picks democratic cities which are led by democrats when how is all about playing with residents of chicago. Well you know the people in chicago they dont really want to have federal agents here because they saw what happened in portland so she can go campin really compared with portland there are much more lets say oppressive protests is seen over the last years but still they say our police if they would be educated enough if people would Work Together with the police the police and local leaders thats the way we have to go we dont need some to send in troops who dont understand who we are here in the city of chicago in as fall in chicago thank you so much farah parting. President from meanwhile has canceled the florida portion of next months Republican National convention the 4 night event was expected to draw more than 10000. 00 people to celebrate trumps formal nomination as the partys candidate for the november election i was floored at now seeing a spike in corona virus cases the president says safety is his main concern but i looked at my team and i said the timing for this event is not right just not right with whats happened recently the flare up in florida to have a Big Convention its not the right time its really something that for me i have to protect the American People thats what ive always done thats what i always will do thats what im about.
