If I'm wrong on this, someone correct me but doesn't the governor of the state have to request federal help, first?I get the Chicago has become a war zone but what's the precedent for this?
Not if he follows the lead of his predecessor...which is what it sounds like he's threatening.
I'm not even sure a state or city should ask for help like this.outside of dealing with federal crimes taking place there. They really need to deal with their own problems in their own homes and in their own city government.Just a couple years back an ICE agent shot and killed a guy in Detroit. It was a good shoot but it was ironic that the local agitators complained about the lack of accountability from the feds. I saw it as a teachable moment.Any time you cede authority to the feds over anything, accountability becomes an ever more remote island.
It's a slippery slope, suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, ring a bell?
Who speaks Trumpese, who the hell knows what he means? I don't even think he does. I'm sure the FBI has a field office in Chicago already. So what is he talking about? Violating posse comitatus?https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/chicagoJust from searching Google, the feds are already in Chicago.
