德州国民警卫队预计将部署执法部门消息人士告诉美国广播公司芝加哥站WLS,周三晚上,他们前往芝加哥附近的移民和海关执法局(ICE)处理中心。
这将是德克萨斯州国民警卫队自周一晚上抵达伊利诺伊州以来,首次在芝加哥地区部署。
根据WLS的说法伊利诺伊州国民警卫队联合部队总部周二获悉,从周三晚上开始,得克萨斯州国民警卫队的任务将是为芝加哥东南部社区Broadview的冰处理设施提供安全保障,但没有提供进一步的细节。
Broadview设施是最近的反冰抗议。在9月30日记者招待会Broadview官员指责ICE对抗议者使用催泪瓦斯、胡椒喷雾和橡皮子弹,危及ICE设施附近的第一反应人员、居民和抗议者。
部署德克萨斯州国民警卫队的消息传出之际,唐纳德·特朗普总统正在与芝加哥市长布兰登·约翰逊和伊利诺伊州州长JB·普利兹克展开口水战。总统在周三早上的一篇社交媒体帖子中表示,他们“应该被关进监狱”,因为他声称他们拒绝保护冰剂.
“伊利诺伊州不会让特朗普政府不加抵抗地继续他们的专制游行,”伊利诺伊州州长JB Pritzker周二表示,当时德克萨斯州国民警卫队出现在芝加哥郊区埃尔伍德的一个陆军预备役训练中心。
普利兹克说:“我们将利用我们所掌握的一切手段来阻止这种夺权行为,因为军队不应该被用来对付美国社区。”。
军事部署引起了民主党领导人的愤怒。
“唐纳德·特朗普向芝加哥宣战。他就是这么做的。特朗普政府正在故意制造混乱,”约翰逊周二表示。“联邦政府已经失控了。这是我们国家历史上最危险的时期之一。”
特朗普周三在社交媒体上回击。
"芝加哥市长应该因未能保护ICE官员而入狱!"总统写道。"普利兹克州长也是"
约翰逊回应道社交媒体帖子周三,他写道,“这不是特朗普第一次试图不公正地逮捕一名黑人。我哪儿也不去。”
普利兹克也对特朗普的帖子做出了反应,写作周三在社交媒体上,“我不会退缩。”
“特朗普现在呼吁逮捕当选代表,以检查他的权力,”普利兹克说。"在通往全面威权主义的道路上,还剩下什么?"
在周三下午为抗议政府关闭的联邦工作人员举行的集会上,普利兹克对记者说,特朗普“精神错乱,真的”。精神错乱。”
“这是一个非常没有安全感的人,他猛烈抨击,假装他可以毫无理由地逮捕人。他不能。他不会这么做的,”普利兹克说。
“玉米卷。普利兹克补充道,“特朗普总是临阵脱逃,”这个缩写词在今年夏天成为特朗普批评者的一个流行模因,因为总统发出了关税威胁,但后来又撤销了这些威胁。
伊利诺伊州领导人(都是民主党人)之间的来回交锋是在特朗普有条件地威胁要援引暴动法在芝加哥。该法案可追溯到1807年,它授权总统在全国范围内部署军队和联邦化的国民警卫队,以镇压民众骚乱、暴动或反对联邦政府的武装叛乱。
周一下午,特朗普在椭圆形办公室对记者说,他还没有看到使用《叛乱法》的必要性,但“如果我必须颁布它,我会这样做,如果有人被杀,法院扣押我们,或者州长或市长扣押我们。”
同时,德州国民警卫队已经被看到了ABC新闻获悉,在芝加哥西南郊区的一个陆军预备役训练中心。
据报道,人们看到成群的士兵在埃尔伍德训练中心的操场上行走,大多数士兵显然是在周一晚上到达的美国广播公司新闻WLS芝加哥站.
普利兹克在周一的新闻发布会上说,周末期间,他呼吁阿博特“立即撤回对这一决定的支持”,将德克萨斯州国民警卫队成员派往芝加哥。
周二早些时候,阿博特在社交媒体上回复普利兹克说:“我完全授权总统召集400名德克萨斯州国民警卫队成员,以确保联邦官员的安全。”
这一部署引起了民主党领导人的愤怒。
“唐纳德·特朗普向芝加哥宣战。他就是这么做的。特朗普政府正在故意制造混乱,”约翰逊周二表示。“联邦政府已经失控了。这是我们国家历史上最危险的时期之一。”
在周一提交的诉讼中,伊利诺伊州和芝加哥市要求法官阻止特朗普政府向芝加哥部署军队。
“美国人民,无论他们居住在哪里,都不应该生活在美国军队占领的威胁下,尤其不应该仅仅因为他们的城市或州领导层失去了总统的支持,”诉讼称。
诉讼称,随着特朗普总统寻求在全国各地的城市部署国民警卫队,将军队与国内事务分开的基本原则“处于危险之中”。
Texas National Guard being deployed on Wednesday night to ICE facility near Chicago: Sources
The Texas National Guard is expected to bedeployedon Wednesday night to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing center near Chicago, law enforcement sources told ABC Chicago station WLS.
It will be the first deployment for the Texas National Guard in the Chicago area since guard members arrived in Illinois on Monday night.
According to WLS, the Illinois National Guard Joint Force Headquarters was informed on Tuesday that the Texas National Guard's mission will be to provide security for the ICE processing facility in Broadview, a community southeast of Chicago, beginning Wednesday evening, but no further details were provided.
The Broadview facility has been the scene ofrecent anti-ICE protests. In a Sept. 30news conference, Broadview officials accused ICE of endangering first responders, residents and protesters near an ICE facility by using tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets on protesters.
News of the deployment of the Texas National Guard comes as President Donald Trump is ramping up a war of words with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. The president suggested in a social media post on Wednesday morning that they "should be in jail" for what he claimed was their refusal to protectICE agents.
"Illinois will not let the Trump administration continue on their authoritarian march without resisting," Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said on Tuesday as the Texas National Guard troops appeared at an Army Reserve training center in the Chicago suburb of Elwood.
"We will use every lever at our disposal to stop this power grab because military troops should not be used against American communities," Pritzker said.
The military deployment drew outrage from Democratic leaders.
"Donald Trump declared war on Chicago. That's what he did. What the Trump administration is doing is intentionally fomenting chaos," Johnson said on Tuesday. "The federal government is out of control. This is one of the most dangerous times in our nation's history."
Trump fired back on Wednesday on social media.
"Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE Officers!" the president wrote. "Governor Pritzker also."
Johnson responded in asocial media poston Wednesday, writing, "This is not the first time Trump has tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested. I'm not going anywhere."
Pritzker also reacted to Trump's post,writingon social media on Wednesday, "I will not back down."
"Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power," Pritzker said. "What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?"
While speaking to reporters at a rally on Wednesday afternoon for federal workers protesting the government shutdown, Pritzker called Trump "demented, literally. Unhinged."
"This is someone that is so insecure that he lashes out, pretending that he can come arrest people for no reason at all.He can’t. He isn’t gonna do it," Pritzker said.
"TACO.Trump always chickens out," Pritzker added, using the acronym that became a popular meme by Trump's critics over the summer as the president made tariff threats only to later reverse them.
The back-and-forth between the Illinois leaders, both Democrats, came as after Trump conditionally threatened toinvoke the Insurrection Actin Chicago. The act, which dates back to 1807, empowers thepresident to nationally deploy the military and federalize National Guard units to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or an armed rebellion against the federal government.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Monday afternoon, Trump said he did not yet see the need to use the Insurrection Act, but "if I had to enact it, I'd do it, if people were being killed and courts were holding us up, or governors or mayors were holding us up."
Meanwhile, the Texas National Guardhas been seenat an Army Reserve training center in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, ABC News has learned.
Groups of soldiers were seen walking the grounds of training center in Elwood, with most of the troops apparently having arrived on Monday night, according toABC News’ Chicago station WLS.
Pritzker said at a news conference on Monday that over the weekend, he called on Abbott "to immediately withdraw his support of this decision" to send the Texas National Guard members to Chicago.
Earlier Tuesday, Abbott had replied to Pritzker on social media, saying, "I fully authorized the President to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to ensure safety for federal officials."
The deployment drew outrage from Democratic leaders.
"Donald Trump declared war on Chicago. That's what he did. What the Trump administration is doing is intentionally fomenting chaos," Johnson said on Tuesday. "The federal government is out of control. This is one of the most dangerous times in our nation's history."
In its lawsuit filed on Monday, the state of Illinois and the City of Chicago asked a judge to block the Trump administration's deployment of military troops to Chicago.
"The American people, regardless of where they reside, should not live under the threat of occupation by the United States military, particularly not simply because their city or state leadership has fallen out of a president's favor," the lawsuit said.
The foundational principle separating the military from domestic affairs is "in peril" as President Trump seeks to deploy the National Guard to cities across the country, the suit said.
