Trump announces a 'surge' of federal agents to US cities, including Chicago and Albuquerque

President Donald Trump walks on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Wednesday, July 15, 2020, after stepping off Marine One. Trump is returning from Atlanta. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the Justice Department will allocate $61 million and send federal law enforcement officials into several US cities to crack down on violent crime.

Both Trump and Attorney General William Barr have, without evidence, linked a recent rise in violent crime to demonstrations against police brutality. Trump announced that the DOJ will also allocate $61 million in grants to send more police officers to US cities as part of a mission dubbed Operation Legend. The president said Operation Legend is meant to "answer the pleas of those crying for justice and crying for help" across the country.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham tweeted that she and the state's attorney general will "actively monitor for potential civil rights violations if and when the federal government sends officers to our state." Over the last several days, the president has faced backlash over the sudden appearance of federal agents in Portland, Oregon. The officials have been seen wearing uniforms without identifying insignia and driving unmarked vans while pulling people off the streets.

POTUS Why can't you just take Viagra like everybody else? This is an extremely unconstitutional way of achieving an erection.

“Surge”, is this Iraq or Afghanistan ?

He is desperate for a war. Don't fall into his traps.

Oh, they have NO idea what they're up against in Chicago. This is only going to make it worse for Trump

If this is anything like Portland then it is a serious danger to our democratic republic. We don't need federal troops in our cities. We need to have a better president who doesn't deny basic disease science and cause the death of over 140,000 people.
