Donald Trump will order FBI and DEA surge in Chicago and Albuquerque to tackle violence as mayor Lori Lightfoot says 'under NO circumstances' will she allow Portland-style crackdown
UK Daily Mail ^ | July 22 2020 | GEOFF EARLE

Donald Trump is set to escalate his federal intervention in cities Wednesday by expanding 'Operation Legend,' deploying FBI and other agents to Chicago and Albuquerque to quell what he claims is out of control violence.

The move was to be announced Wednesday afternoon by Trump at the White House - putting him once again at odds with Democratic mayors, especially Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

They have opposed deploying federal forces to tackle protests. But Operation Legend, which was started in Kansas City, MO, involves surging Department of Justice, not Department of Homeland Security, agents to tackle crime rather then protests.

Mayor Lightweight has all of Lake Michigan to dump the bodies of those who are killed every weekend in her gang wars. It should be months before the lake is full.

Who’s the ignorant slut gonna send? The Chicago cops would most probably love an order to go and get the mayor and let her sleep with the fishes. Actually, thinking about that would be a good....oh...never mind.

Arrest her if she tries to interfere with federal law enforcement doing their jobs. It's pretty simple.

Two Year Old Baby Girl killed by a stray bullet in, ‘The People’s Republik of Milwaukeestan’ last night.

It’s The New Normal the Socialist Democrats want YOU to embrace!

Not a PEEP out of Mayor Tom Barret.

Mayor Lightfoot had this to say:

"Ack ack-ack, ack-ack ack!"

I think Lori Lightfoot is about to have an epiphany.

Like I’ve been saying, it’s about drugs. The rioters don’t want to get busted for drug dealing and other crimes, which crimes are associated with drug dealing (slavery, extortion, etc.). They want to rule over the residents in their neighborhoods without being effectively arrested or punished.

Yeah, up to now it’s been democrat theater. Of course they don’t want the feds there. It’s going to turn real world headache for them. These mayors should charged under RICO.

Who does this nitwit think she’s going to use to enforce this “Stay Away” order?

The Chicongo PD would more than likely welcome Federal LEOs with open arms.

Federal agents were intervening in Chicago long before Beetlejuice was born. I don't think that the Chicago mayor(s) had anything to say about it.

Have we had a lot of protests here in Albuquerque?

Do not watch local news or l.s.media to know.

Did get caught on the freeway jams when protesters were in the downtown area of Louisiana and Indian School.

Just wondering.

Thanks in advance.
