The Spin

Trump's federal deployment scheme creates manufactured chaos to justify invoking the Insurrection Act and militarize Democratic cities. Border Patrol raids and chemical attacks on protesters prove this administration weaponizes federal forces as political props. Illinois fights back against these unconstitutional power grabs that violate state sovereignty.

Portland's ongoing violence represents pure insurrection that obstructs federal law enforcement and threatens public safety. Anti-ICE riots blocking federal buildings and attacking officers justify military deployment under established constitutional authority. Democratic governors enable lawlessness by refusing federal assistance to restore order.
