property which is a federal felony and would justify federal agents apprehending them. one of the big problems asi them. one of the big problems as i see it is that apparently most of these people are being released shortly after they arrested, so they are never presented to a magistrate and the government has never required to explain exactly what the legal justification was for their arrest, and that, i think, contributes to the perception that this is really harassment and not necessarily the protection of federal facilities. and the president says he is having to act because he says very liberal democrats, the radical left as he puts it, i'm not acting, he is clearly trying to make a election issue. there are also suspicions he is trying to distract from his handling of the pandemic. i don't think we can avoid that narrative stopping the reality is that traditionally we rely on local and state authorities to maintain order and to protect federal facilities maintain order and to protect federalfacilities in maintain order and to protect federal facilities in their ju

government essentially operating only within the federal court. that i think is a useful retreat from what was perhaps an overly aggressive set of tactics you have written a piece in the new york times which is quite damning. another way the president has handled this. we say the president is reveling in the use of brutal force. you talk about that being in cities that are run by liberal democrats mayors. you think he is politicizing this in a way. why did you say that? because i think you can say there are errors in judgement in the actual execution of the operation in the actual execution of the operation of portland. but to my mind what made it much worse and created really a crisis of public trust was the way the president traded and political terms with the by saying we will go into cities with these liberal democratic mayors come a couple of months ago he said if they loot, we shoot. some of these images have actually been used in trump campaign ads on television. that creates the impression that all of this is being deliberately ratcheted u

first of all, when we talk about federal agents, what actually do we mean here? well, it depends on the situation, and it appears in portland they were federal agents from the department of security, specifically customs and border patrol. but it looks like what with this happening with chicago, they primarily fbi agents and some other dhs agents as well. is it unprecedented to send agents in like this, when local officials not only are not requesting them, but specifically do not wa nt them, but specifically do not want them? yes. one local officials such as the mayor, doesn't want them and hasn't requested them. with the insurrection are, president eisenhower used it to enforce desegregation or against the wishes of the local governor, but that is not the case here. they do want to distinguish between what happened in portland and chicago, because they are different scenarios. in one of your clips right before this, you said the mayor is did not want federal law enforcement today, just recently within the last hour, mary lightfoot from chicago said she does wel

we went in and protected all the federal buildings. those federal buildings are totally protected, and we had to do that. portland is a very different place than chicago, but chicago should be calling us and so should should philadelphia and detroit and others to go in and really help them because when you are losing many people a weekend, many, are losing many people a weekend, any are losing many people a weekend, many, many people, you see the same numbers as i do, when you are losing these people, they should call us and they should say come on in. it's incredible to me, but they are not doing it. at some point, they will come at some point, we may have no other choice but to go in. mr president, you looking at closing for their chinese embassies in the united states? did you ask woody johnson to bring the british open to your property in scotland? no, i never spoke to woodyjohnson about that about my property. my property isa that about my property. my property is a highly respected course, as you know, one of the best in the worl

local leaders say this is an abuse of federal power. but president trump says they are helping portland, not hurting it. portland was totally out of control. the democrats, the liberal democrats running the place, had no idea what they were doing. they were ripping down, for 51 days, ripping down that city, destroying the city, looting it. the level of corruption and what was going on there is incredible. and then the governor comes out, "0h, we don't need any help.

traditionally, the federal government enforces a limited scope of federal laws that are within its jurisdiction, banking laws, for example and tax laws or the federal environmental laws even. what the president and the attorney general and the acting secretary are doing now is essentially trying to create a broad—based federal police force that has no mission other than law and order on the streets of america's cities and that has always been the prove na nce that has always been the provenance of state and local governments. it's a transformation, a mutation of their roles in ways that we've never seen before. but clearly the president is right, there isa the president is right, there is a spike in violent crime in some areas such is a spike in violent crime in some areas such as is a spike in violent crime in some areas such as chicago. there are also other cities such as portland where thousands of other people are protesting against the ways they are being policed. will these agents deal with these twin challenges? that is yet to be seen. so far they have dealt with them by violating the

what influence, what difference, if any, are these federal troops making? it's really causing a resurgence of the protests. as you can imagine, night after night for 50 nights, numbers that were first maybe 6,000 a night had dwindled to only a couple of hundred, but when president trump sent federal troops to protect the downtown courthouse, it really set the protests to boil again. and we've seen some very scary, some very frightening, confrontations. 0ne instance just last night, i personally witnessed a man being beaten five times, struck five times by a baton by federal offices for doing nothing more than standing near the courthouse. teargas was engulfing the entire park that surrounds that area and it was a very chaotic moment. in other instances, we've had confirmed reports of protesters being snatched up and placed in unmarked vans by these federal officers. they're then detained for hours at a time and at least in one instance, let go with seemingly no paperwork filed, no evidence of probable cause or due process and as you can imagine, as these in

our top stories: president trump deploys hundreds more federal officers to american cities, expanding his crackdown on what he calls spiralling violent crime. my vision for america's cities could not be more different from the lawlessness being pushed by the extreme radical left. even though the us is recording more than 1,000 coronavirus deaths a day, the president also insists schools must get back to normal. tensions between the world's biggest powers escalate as the us orders china to close its consulate in houston. millions are displaced by torrential monsoon rains in india, nepaland bangladesh. hello. president trump is sending more federal agents to chicago and other american cities to fight what he says is violent crime spiralling out of control. there is already considerable dispute and unease about the federal law enforcement officials deployed to portland, oregon to confront protesters there. the president is acting against the wishes of local leaders, who say he's provoking a constitutional crisis. here's how the president and his attorney—general explained the move. the

the trump administration says the troops are protecting federal property. others say they are making the situation worse. it is an unconstitutional occupation. the tactics that are being used by ourfederal officers are abhorrent. the mayor himself was not immune. when federal troops used tear gas outside the courthouse, he was among those coughing heavily. the reason this is important is because it is notjust happening in portland, and the president has made it clear, it is going to happen in cities that are controlled by democratic leaders. the most notable city on that list is chicago, where 15 people were shot outside a funeral parlour on tuesday night. president trump has announced that hundreds of federal law enforcement officers will be sent there immediately. the president referenced figures which show a 51% increase in murders there this year. the chicago police department says there have been 414 murders in 2020, compared to 275 at the same point last year. this rampage of violence shocks the conscience of our nation. we will not stand by and watch

that is our use of federal police force for political ends. that is not an acceptable solution anywhere in america. that was the mayor of portland. cbs correspondent laura podesta expalains why there are such strong objections to sending in more federal officers. the governor and the mayor in this case, in portland, the governor of oregon, do not want this damage these federal agents there, they are at odds with the trump administration, with the belief that they need this extra support. we should mention that kate brown, the oregon governor, invited guards and to support law enforcement injune, it is not they are against federal assistance, it's these new federal agents, many of whom have not been trained in crowd control, are now infiltrating their streets. and the other reason why it's so controversial and you heard the merit speak at length about this, he believes and many believe it is a violation of constitutional rights, the first amendment right to free speech, to the right to protest, when you have officers arriving, some in camouflag

i want to know what you would say to a federal officer. if you could get a federal officer who has been deployed to your city to sit down away from the protests a nd city to sit down away from the protests and away from the noise in the hue and cry, what sort of conversation would you like to have? a great question. what has been difficult for me to understand is when they are coming out the entire group which, i can tell you that, largely, we are not violent protesters. and, further, the damage to property does not warrant what they are giving out. so what i would say is that if they can be as militant and they can put together plans to attack a large body, why can they not do the same in an effort to get, you know, suppose that bad actors? i feel like there is an ideal that portland, as a whole, and black lives matter movement folks as a whole are violent. i think we have been called terrorists. it has just gotten out of hand with the way we are being portrayed. and to be honest, it isa portrayed. and to be honest, it is a small handful

agents in military fatigues, sent in on a mission to protect federal property. critics say their presence here has only served to exacerbate tensions. president trump, however, defends their deployment and is now planning to send federal law enforcement officers to other american cities to combat what he calls "a rampage of violent crime". we want to make law enforcement stronger, not weaker. what cities are doing is absolute insanity. many of the same politicians who want to slash resources for law enforcement have also declared that their cities are sanctuaries for criminal illegal aliens. the next city on the list, chicago, where 15 people were shot outside a funeral parlour on tuesday night. as in portland, president trump blames the violence on the failure of local democratic leadership and while chicago's mayor is cautiously welcoming the deployment of federal officers, the leaders of some other major cities are saying no way. so what we see in portland is that the federal presence is actually making the situation worse. and we cannot allow that here in ne

president trump is threatening to send federal law enforcement officers to other us cities. these are not protesters. preparations are under way to send agents to chicago. laura trevelyan there. congressman earl blumenauer of portland has introduced a bill that would limit police action by federal agents in america's cities. he says the tactics used by the trump administration in portland are gestapo—like. having people who are rounded up, taken into custody by people who are, it's not clear actually who they are, put in unmarked cars, taken to some detention facility, questions. you have people who are taking peaceful protesters, firing munitions on them. one gentleman had very serious facial injuries that required surgery. facial injuries that required surgery. one of my constituents, two nights ago, who came up to one of these people, trying to understand how they could possibly squared this with their oath of office, he did not get answers, he got pepper spray dan had his hand broken with a baton —— and had. this is basically outrageous. we have people who were unw
