Pentagon official confirms plan as House minority leader Jeffries says president is ‘playing’ with Americans’ lives
Planning is underway to send national guard troops to Chicago, an official at the Pentagon confirmed to ABC News on Sunday.
“We won’t speculate on further operations. The Department is a planning organization and is continuously working with other agency partners on plans to protect federal assets and personnel,” a Department of Defense official said, according to ABC.
Earlier on Sunday, Hakeem Jeffries, House minority leader and New York Democratic congressman, said Donald Trump has “manufactured a crisis” to justify sending federalized national guard troops into Chicago next, over the heads of local leaders.
I notice a lot of people on lemmy shaming others for not doing anything while they themselves clearly aren’t doing anything either
Depends. Are they American to begin with? If not, the rest of us are just watching this particular shitstorm, if you don’t mind.
The weird thing is, is that the people criticizing the people who criticize those not doing anything are themselves not doing anything either. Not an American btw. It’s bystanders all the way down!
I assume the majority aren’t Americans.
But they tend to assume whoever they’re talking to is American
