Is domestic terrorism spread in America? Know why Trump is preparing to remove the army in cities
Donald Trump described Chicago some time ago as suffering from domestic terrorism. Now Portland also joins the list. Local people are angry with the action against illegal immigrants and protest. The Trump administration wanted to send troops there to control the situation. However, a federal judge blocked the move. Furiously, Trump threatens to reinstate a law dating from 1807. Understand what the law is, and whether many American cities are really on fire. Let’s first look at the latest incident. Portland, Oregon is one of the US cities where the atmosphere regarding immigration is reasonably heated. A large number of people came out on the street. The protests began after Trump asked stricter measures against illegal immigrants. There is a large immigration and customs housing facility in Portland, where immigrants are held. Trump said federal forces will be deployed to increase safety at these centers and prevent protests. This means that federal agencies will have the authority to control and act. This further increased the already ongoing protests. People began to say that sending federal troops to any state would mean limiting the freedom of the people. Portland has a large number of illegal immigrants working in a variety of jobs, and there was the fear that their deportation would affect the economy. Local people also began to demand that immigrants be treated humanly rather than using violence. Daily protests began to take place outside the ice building. This is where Trump’s actual entry took place. He indicated that if the state could not handle the situation, he could call on the rebellion law, according to which troops would be deployed to Portland. Since then, there has been a direct conflict between the state government and the federal government. Oregon leaders stopped the implementation of troops using the court. This order made Trump further angry. He claims that leftist domestic terrorism is spreading in America. Interestingly, the cities where these allegations were made are managed by Democrats. This includes not only Portland or Chicago, but also Los Angeles, Baltimore and even Washington. Trump claims that law enforcement due to democratic cities is getting weaker. People deliberately create turmoil on the issue of illegal immigrants. For this reason, he wants to re-implement an age-old law. What is this act? In the United States, the president is generally unable to deploy the military to maintain law and order in the country without the approval of Congress. However, the rebellion law is an old law that in special circumstances the president gives the authority to send troops to the country and take control of the national guard, ie state forces. Special circumstances are also defined: When law and order are completely broken down and the state police and courts are unable to control it, the president is recorded and sends the federal forces. When was it used? This law was signed by the then President Thomas Jefferson in March 1807. It has since been implemented several times. In the 18th century, America was a new country, and the government needed money. This is at the time of President George Washington. He imposed tax on liquor. As a result, farmers from many countries were angry. They had earlier made drinks out of their surplus grains and made money by selling it. When the government imposed taxes, they realized that rich traders would be saved, but that farmers would be taxed. They started protesting. To stop the protests, the then President called on the Revolt Act and suppressed the rebellion with the help of the army. It was the first case of its kind. Since then, this law has been used many times to control its own citizens. The last time President George HW Bush used this act during the Los Angeles riots in 1992. Since then, there has never been a time when any president needs it. When can the Insurrection Act be called in? Under this law, the president may deploy the army in certain circumstances, but the definition of these circumstances is not very strict, that is, the president has sufficient authority. – This may happen when the state government or the governor personally requests help from the president. – The president feels that the situation is exacerbating in a state and that there is a need to deploy the army. Since the law does not define revolt or domestic violence, it is the president of the president to determine the seriousness of the situation and whether troops are needed. This is why this act was controversial. It can be used for legal reasons as well as political purposes. Trump nowadays uses the word “rebellion”. He described Portland as burning and said that he would enforce the law if necessary.
