100% this. Just a few short months ago I thought she was doing a fantastic job, but she has repeatedly made the wrong calls in response to the CPD and paid the barest lip service to the protestors. I have next to zero faith she'd actually do anything to stop these federal agents if they do start patrolling Chicago.
She seems utterly frozen in place in being able to take meaningful action that would upset the CPD, and we all know Trump's Gestapo rolling in isn't going to be opposed by the CPD - hell if anything they'll be jealous of them.
Not the way the Feds are doing it. Getting them into the cities to assist in the protection of Federal property is perfectly legal. What they do once they are here is the shady part. Months of litigation will eventually sort out the Constitutional violations, but it won't matter by then.
It's carrying out the President's Exec order for the protection of Federal property. Something well within Federal jurisdiction. Lending assets between agencies is not only allowed, but encouraged to save money and training. I do FDA work and the last FDA Agent I dealt with was a Navy doctor in Navy whites on loan to the FDA.
Again the actions of these thugs will not pass the smell test, but getting them on the ground on the basis of protecting Fed property is.

AG Barr, like Trump before him, links the recent rise in violent crime in some cities to recent protests against police + calls for defunding, calling the increasing violence "a direct result" of it. He offers no evidence, nor does he say why some crimes are up and others down
Key targets in the violent extremists' campaign against our country are public monuments, memorials, and statues. Their selection of targets reveals a deep ignorance of our history, and is indicative of a desire to indiscriminately destroy anything that honors our past and to erase from the public mind any suggestion that our past may be worth honoring, cherishing, remembering, or understanding. In the last week, vandals toppled a statue of President Ulysses S. Grant in San Francisco. To them, it made no difference that President Grant led the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the Civil War, enforced Reconstruction, fought the Ku Klux Klan, and advocated for the Fifteenth Amendment, which guaranteed freed slaves the right to vote. In Charlotte, North Carolina, the names of 507 veterans memorialized on a World War II monument were painted over with a symbol of communism. And earlier this month, in Boston, a memorial commemorating an African-American regiment that fought in the Civil War was defaced with graffiti. In Madison, Wisconsin, rioters knocked over the statue of an abolitionist immigrant who fought for the Union during the Civil War. Christian figures are now in the crosshairs, too. Recently, an influential activist for one movement that has been prominent in setting the agenda for demonstrations in recent weeks declared that many existing religious depictions of Jesus and the Holy Family should be purged from our places of worship.
What's the legal situation if you use force to defend yourself from these not uniformed, not police?
"gang violence" aka Portland Moms protesting peacefully getting the shit beat out of the them.There is good reason to dislike Trump but something has to be done about the gang violence and this may help. There is not enough action being taken to combat the gang violence happening.

How, without coming down hard on gangs?Fuck this noise. Fix the communities. This is just more terrorization.
They get released without charges, because if they were going to actually charge them, then those doing the arresting would have to identify themselves in the paperwork.
Ah, that's good to hear. I was afraid they were just getting disappeared.
If you think Trump is actually doing this because he cares about stopping gang violence I have a bridge to sell you.There is good reason to dislike Trump but something has to be done about the gang violence and this may help. There is not enough action being taken to combat the gang violence happening. This is not just for protesters right?
You fix the societal issues that make gangs form in the first place.
Yes. Also they all are.
gangs don't spring out of nowhere, they're a result of societal issues. Just cracking down on gangs will never actually solve the problem, because it's doing nothing to address the underlying issues that lead people to form and join these gangs
Exactly.You fix the societal issues that make gangs form in the first place.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you mean, but as long as it 'helps' with the gang issue, you are okay with jack-booted thugs also fucking with protestors?There is good reason to dislike Trump but something has to be done about the gang violence and this may help. There is not enough action being taken to combat the gang violence happening. This is not just for protesters right?
In a way. You can read it for yourself if you can stomach the lies. They are going to beat us for our own good.

no, she's basically saying Fuck trump. and no, fuck that.let me guess
"It will be fine, no one innocent will be kidnapped"

I mean, they are being released at this point as far as we know - but it's certainly just a hop, skip and a jump to them NOT being released and disappearing. The concern is unmarked federal officers picking up random people in unmarked vehicles has zero accountability.Ah, that's good to hear. I was afraid they were just getting disappeared.
let me guess
"It will be fine, no one innocent will be kidnapped"
no, she's basically saying Fuck trump. and no, fuck that.
