Trump’s Dangerous Moves
Using Federal Agents to arrest peaceful protestors
Trump has been deploying federal troops to the city of Portland to supposedly quell peaceful protestors. Some of these troops are arresting citizens without explanation and throwing them into unmarked vehicles. He is threatening to do the same in other large cities such as Chicago and New York — as he says, “liberal” cities where he wrongly says violence is out of control. It is not.
This to me is the potential beginning of a police state, and we must be careful. The Oregon Attorney General has sued the federal government for this “illegal use of force.”
Trump thinks people are his toys to manipulate towards his re-election.
