President Trump on Wednesday announced he is removing National Guard troops from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland… for now.
Trump previously mobilized Texas National Guard Troops and sent them to Chicago to protect ICE agents from violent far-left Antifa terrorists.
However, a battle played out in the courts after a federal judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blocked the deployment.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the lower court’s order blocking the troop deployment.
The appeals court judges agreed with the Biden judge’s assertion that there was “insufficient evidence of rebellion or a danger of a rebellion.”
In October, President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and allow National Guard troops to be deployed in Chicago.
After a temporary loss in the Supreme Court, Trump said he is withdrawing the troops for now.
“We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities, and ONLY by that fact. Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago were GONE if it weren’t for the Federal Government stepping in.
“We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again – Only a question of time!” Trump said.
“It is hard to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made??? President DJT,” Trump said.
Trump’s announcement comes after the US Supreme Court late last month kept the block on Trump’s National Guard deployment in Chicago in place… for now.
The high court rejected President Trump’s request to halt the lower court’s order in a 6-3 decision.
Conservative Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, and Alito dissented.
