That hardly means they are acting like "general police force for all crimes". They are simply enforcing federal law in Portland just as they have always done. Their actions stand out because of the near total breakdown of law enforcement in Portland. They are not arresting people for breaking state or local laws but only for breaking federal laws, just as they have always done.Since they gassed the mayor, and are all around the city.A stupid thing to say since there is no evidence federal officers are acting like "general police force for all crimes.”Stephen I. Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin, said it was not clear how federal agents could occupy the streets of a city that is 99 percent not federal property. “It’s of course the prerogative of the federal government to enforce federal law and protect federal property,” Mr. Vladeck said. “It is not the job of the federal government to be a general police force for all crimes.”When Federal property is being damaged, this is what you get. Your concern is misplaced. DumbNot at all thrilled with the way some of these cities have handled their problems since the Floyd murder. Just don't like the precident being set for uninvited federal intervention. Hope he isn't getting us used to federal secret police on the streets in time to call off the election due to a trumped up emergency to stay in office.Decent people can't enjoy their city in the evening. Way past time to remove the vermin.Would have no problem if that was all they were doing, but even you know it is a lie. You also know we don't send in troops is unmarked vehicles, dressed for combat, wearing balaclava to hide their identity and thwart photo records with little or no ID visible and only attached with velcro when visible at all to snatch people off the street.No one has imposed martial law snowflake...by federal statute the government has NO choice but to protect federal buildings and personel ...Nope. I just do not approve of federal martial law being imposed over state control. Not a good precedent.So you're okay with rioters and terrorizing citizens. Good luck.Nope. I just do not trust the good intentions of the Feds when trump has talked about sending to democrat controlled cities, making it sound like a political operation during an election years. Dangerous political stunt, in my opinion.Perhaps you're just confused. That's what it sounds like.Bright enough, just not trusting enough.It stops when the vermin are all picked up or they go away. You're not very bright, huh.And where does that stop, your front door? Bad precedent by a bad president.Nope. More like picking up the trash and taking them off the street so law abiding people can go about their lives in peace and safety. Idiot.That is pretty much what the states should be afraid of. Nothing like, Hi, were from the Federal government, we're here to help you, right?I don't give a damn what the Feds do to the vermin.Activity such as seen on the news of rolling up with no identification to snatch people off the street into an unmarked car and taking of to who knows where for whatever they choose to do with them or to them. You can an should respect law enforcement. That ain't law enforcement. Makes a pretty strong case for the gun nuts that think you may need fully automatic weapons and high capacity magazines available to the people, to protect against excess of the government using federal troops. Never thought they were anything but gun nuts until now. Never though I would see secret police right here in my country.Illegal activity? Funny.Not a matter of stopping trump. Just put two humvees to shadow movement of all Fed unmarked rolling units of the secret police and control their activity and make sure the personnel are identified before being allowed out of the GSA parking lot with order to arrest on illegal activity if necessary. 150 secret police is no match for an infantry battalion. It is expensive, but the state has to decide whether to give up state control of troops within their borders and make no mistake the secret police is troops not law enforcement.How are they gonna stop Trump?I'm glad to see real Americans standing up for the constitution, the law and our people.
De Blasio and other mayors have said they will take legal steps to stop trump.
I don't see how any court in this nation won't stop trump from doing this.
