Hundreds of US National Guard troops arrive in Chicago

Hundreds of troops at the National Guard from Texas arrived at the Army Training Center outside Chicago to support US President Donald Trump for immigration.

Trump marks Chicago Zone of War after recent protests against federal immigration officers in the third largest urban city.

The deployment comes against the backdrop of opposing local employees. Illinois governor JB Pritzker accused the Trump administration of authoritarian march and said the state “would” use every lever at our disposal to stop this hold of power. “

Sources told CBS News, the BBC American partner that some troops could start their tasks on Wednesday.

CBS also reports that the trailers were created as temporary living quarters at the Army Reserve Training Center about 50 miles (80 km) southwest of Chicago.

The fence was also placed around the school late Tuesday.

Local officials said they had received little details about troops.

Trump claims that the use of troops is necessary to suppress violence in cities, controlled by Democrats, destroys crime and supports his deportation initiatives.

National troops have limited power. They do not apply the law or make arrests, seizures or searches – instead their role is to protect federal employees and property.

Trump has already sent security members in Los Angeles and Washington, Colombia, and ordered them to enter Memphis and Portland.

The Federal Judge has temporarily prohibited the troops from being deployed in Portland. Another judge has so far allowed Chicago’s deployment.

Chicago observes an increase in protests for the implementation of immigration in the city, many of which occur outside the immigration and customs implementation facilities (ICE).

Last weekend, the US border patrol staff shot and wound a woman after a group of people inserted cars into immigration vehicles – although local media reported that her lawyer had disputed parts of the government version.

The hearing is scheduled for Thursday in the case brought by Illinois and Chicago – who claim to stop the national guard’s troops from their country and from Texas to be federalized or brought under the control of the President.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson told the BBC News on Tuesday that it is that “literally selected the National Guard from another state, Texas, and then sends them to Illinois – this is illegal, unconstitutional and dangerous.”

On Monday, Johnson signed an executive order forbidding ice agents from working on the city owned property.

Deposits raise both legal and constitutional issues, since the troops of the National Guard are usually unfolded by the Governor of the State and centuries -old laws limit the use of the Government of Military on Internal AffairsS

Trump has said he will consider reflecting an even more adult law, the Law of the Uprising, if the federal courts stop his deployment on the troops of the National Guard in the US cities.

The Law of 1807 allows the US President to use military officials of active law to fulfill obligations to enforce the country.

Asked about this in the oval office on Tuesday, Trump referred to Chicago and said that “if the governor cannot do the job, we will do the job.”
