Deploying Troops to American Cities: An Assault on the Constitution
President Donald Trump's efforts to use federal troops on U.S. soil is an affront to our nation's Constitution and legal system.
Every American concerned about the state of our liberties should find it harrowing that the National Guard is now in place in Portland, Oregon, as declared by President Trump on social media. The goal, he stated, is to restore law and order as "conditions continue to deteriorate into lawless mayhem."
- Protests against ICE's increasingly abusive raids and detentions are taking place.
- The deployment of troops is seen as a pretext to exert federal control over cities.

Author's summary: Trump's deployment of troops is unconstitutional.
