President Trump ‘not going to war’ with Chicago, Democrats dubious
Insisting on an increase in federal immigration and the application of customs will occur in Chicago and in other sanctuary cities, the TSAR on the American border Tom Homan has warned anti-gloss activists “you go to prison” if they cross the line of peaceful demonstrations and rather suggest that they should come together against the congress.
President Donald Trump and Homan also sought to minimize the controversy about Trump’s social media publication on Saturday in which the president said: “Chicago about why this is called the Ministry of War”. The edition generated anxiety and accusations that the Republican President declared war on a big city led by Democrats.
Questioned by a journalist in the White House on Sunday while he was preparing to leave for the United States Simple York tennis championship if he was “ready to go to war with Chicago”, Trump reprimanded the journalist for dealing with “false news” and called him “secondary”.
“We are not going to war. We are going to clean our cities. We will clean them so that they do not kill five people every weekend. It’s not war. It is common sense,” said Trump.
But the American Democratic senator Tammy Duckworth said that he was “clear that the President of the United States essentially declared war on a big city on his own nation”.
“I take what the President of the United States says very seriously, because it is the respect you have to give to the office,” said the veteran of the war in Iraq. “And if that’s what he declares, then let me say clearly, it would be an illegal order to declare war on a big city, any city, in the United States.”
Apparitions on social networks and national television came as federal immigration application actions that have been threatened and predicted to start in Chicago and the suburbs during the weekend did not materialize in the late afternoon.
Homan, appearing in Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures “program, said federal prosecutors across the country were ready to pursue all acts given against ice officers under a” zero tolerance “policy supported by Trump.
“You throw a stone, you go to prison. You put your hands on an ice agent, you go to prison. You do a threat online or in person, you go to prison,” said Homan, saying that many demonstrators of the application of immigration were “paid” and that efforts were in progress to find out who paid them.
“Listen, here is what people must understand: ice applies the laws adopted by congress. There is appropriate funding to apply these laws. If you don’t like what ice is doing, go protesting against congress because we are not doing this thing,” said Homan.
“And what is the most insulting? You have members of the Congress comparing ice to the Nazis, terrorists and racists. Well, if they are racist to apply the law, what does it make them? They wrote the law, so members of the Congress, all those who want to attack us, you are disgusting,” he said. “They are members of the congress and they don’t like what the ice is doing, then do your job and legislate.
Questioned in an appearance in CNN’s “State of the Union” if implementing measures should be expected in Chicago this week, Homan said: “Absolutely, you can expect an action in most sanctuar cities across the country”, because it has criticized the laws that prevent local police from participating in the application of immigration, although it is a federal responsibility.
Questioned by Jake Tapper, the host of CNN if the deployment of the National Guard in the city was one of the actions of this week, Homan said that such a decision “remained on the table” as a “strength multiplier”. When Tapper asked how many members of the guard could be deployed, Homan said that it was “information sensitive to the police. I’m not going to tell you. ”
Homan acknowledged that more operations on the application of the Immigration Act at work would take place on Thursday, similar to a Georgia Hyundai electric battery factory, where an ice raid has held nearly 500 people, mainly South Korean nationals. South Korean officials organized their departure from the United States
“We are going to do more operations to apply the law on site because the number one is the crime to enter this country illegally. Number is the crime to knowingly hire an illegal extraterrestrial, and these companies that hire illegal foreigners, they undermine competition that pays the wages of American citizens. “
Homan has also updated the repeated complaints of the Democratic Governor JB Pritzker according to which the White House and the Federal Authorities provided him with no information on their actions planned in order to coordinate it with the local police, saying: “Ice agents have flooded the area in Chicago for some time now, then it is aware of what is happening.”
Like Trump, Homan sought to reject the controversial publication of the social media of Saturday, a meme on the dark film of the 1979 Vietnam War “Apocalypse Now” nicknamed “Chipocalypse Now” which showed the survaining military helicopters of the city line and Trump on an American army uniform as an actor Robert Duvall.
“We are going to war with criminal cartels, criminal cartels. We are going to war with illegal foreigners – threats of public security who violate children, who violated citizens, who committed armed robbery, who distribute drugs that kill the Americans,” said Homan.
Duckworth, appearing on “Face The Nation” of CBS, told his attempt on Friday with the American senator Dick Durbin and the American representative Brad Schneider of Highland Park to visit the offices that the Department of Internal Security has obtained as an ice operations center at the Naval Station of the Great Lakes in North Chicago.
“No, you can’t,” Duckworth told the contingent. “They literally gave the people a day off, locked the doors and left.”
“It is not the action of someone who does something legal or of which he is proud,” she said.
Duckworth also said “it doesn’t escape me” that Trump has renamed the Ministry of Defense to the Ministry of War and issued his war warning to Chicago after a meeting last week which “humiliating” Trump in which Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sans Trump.
“This is what Donald Trump does when something bad … happens to him in the news cycle, or when (the late sexual traffic Jeffrey) the victims of Epstein come together and have a very emotional press conference, he changes the subject and distracts us by saying things as if I will send ice to Chicago, I will do this,” she said. “The American people cannot be fooled.”
