Donald Trump on Monday said the border patrol will “take no nonsense", as he referred to armed federal agents patrolling Chicago’s downtown streets on Sunday. This came after the US President called up 200 Guard troops for deployment in Portland, Oregon.
In a separate social media post, Trump also shared a video of agents on the streets of Chicago, amid chaos and sloganeering.
In Chicago, dozens of armed federal agents, in full tactical gear, walked the streets of some of the city’s most prominent tourist and shopping areas, amid a surge of immigration enforcement that began early this month.
This also included repeated conflict at an ICE building in Broadview, west of Chicago, where federal authorities on Friday and Saturday fired pepper balls and tear gas at protesters.
Trump’s troop order came a day after he said on social media that he was directing the Department of Defence to “provide all necessary Troops to protect war-ravaged Portland".
Trump said the decision was necessary to protect US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.
However, later, Governor Tina Kotek said Trump’s description was a false narrative meant to spur conflict.
The moves follow Trump’s crime crackdown in the District of Columbia and actions in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests that turned violent with the arrival of troops.
