President Donald Trump can send National Guard troops to Oregon presumably to protect a Portland ICE facility from violent protestors, an appeals court ruled on Monday afternoon, giving the president’s administration a key legal victory in what it says is its push to crack down on crime and illegal immigration in major cities.The ruling was made in a federal appeals court in San Francisco, with two Trump-appointed judges siding with the administration, while a judge appointed by Bill Clinton sided against it. Monday’s ruling allows the president to send 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland, overriding a federal court ruling earlier this month that temporarily blocked the administration from doing so.The Trump Administration had argued it was allowed by the U.S. Constitution to use the National Guard when “rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States” was imminent. The court agreed with the administration’s interpretation.
Of course, if you’re one of those TDS-suffering simpletons out there who’s automatically against Trump on everything, the idea of him deploying the National Guard to your crime-ridden city only feeds your “Trump is a fascist” narrative (even as hundreds are killed there each year). But if you’re an ordinary, working-class resident of said city, you understand that a strong police presence really does deter crime and you appreciate having a president who genuinely cares about your safety. When it comes to crime, it’s an issue Trump understands and Democrats simply don’t.
