Trump makes you come true and uses immigration police in Chicago

After days of threats from US President Donald Trump against Chicago, a large-scale use of the ICE immigration police began in the Democrat stronghold. According to the White House, the operation “Midway Blitz” (such as: lightning attack on the middle “) started on Monday is directed against” illegal criminal foreigners who have cleared themselves in Chicago “. In online media, the white house released drawers arrested” gang members “from Venezuela and Mexico.

Trump had again sharply attacked Chicago and the governor of the surrounding US state of Illinois, JB Pritzker, before the mission became known. In the past few weeks, around 50 people were killed in Chicago and hundreds were injured by shots, the President claimed in his online service Truth Social. Nevertheless, the Democrats rejected his help. “We can proceed quickly and stop this madness,” wrote Trump. Statistics, on the other hand, show a decline in the murse in the current year.

The right-wing populist had repeatedly threatened Chicago with a commitment to the National Guard, as in the Democrat strongholds Washington and Los Angeles. It was only at the weekend that Trump wrote in an online post that Chicago will soon find out why the US Ministry of Defense is now called “Ministry of War”. Trump had determined the renaming on Friday by decree.

The publication of the weekend shows a picture of Trump in military clothing, in the background helicopter can be seen above the Skyline of Chicago, plus the quote: “I love the smell of deportations in the morning” – all alludes to the film “Apocalypse Now” from 1979.

Governor Pritzker reacted indignantly: “Illinois will not be intimidated by a wannabe dictator,” he said, published tips on dealing with ICE raids. At the weekend in Chicago and Washington, thousands of people took the street against Trump.

Meanwhile, the Trump government achieved a success in procedure in the west coast metropolis of Los Angeles in front of the US Supreme Court. On Monday, the court temporarily overturned the restrictions for the immigration police, which a federal judge had ordered to prevent controls due to the appearance or speaking of Spanish or English with a foreign accent. Since then there have been significantly fewer raids in the region, although they were not completely set.

Opponents criticized that the raids were bluntly directed against anyone who looks Latin American or spoke Spanish. US citizens and other people were also arrested who are legally in the United States.

Politicians from the Democrats criticized the decision of the Supreme Court, which was made with the majority of conservative judges and for which no reason was given. On September 24, the judiciary is to deal with the case again, then a court of lower instance could decide to impose long -term restrictions.

In June, Trump in Los Angeles mobilized the National Guard and Marine Fantrymen to end protests against his immigration policy. Critics accuse Trump to overdo the extent of crime in order to justify authoritarian measures.
