• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Was the President attempts to deploy more National Guard troops
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in two US cities that he deems war zones. The
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: federal judge blocked two attempts by the administration to deploy
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: California and Oregon's National Guard into Portland. The White House
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: claims there are riots in the city.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: What was unlawful with the Oregon National Guard is unlawful
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: with the California National Guard. The judge's order was not
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: some minor procedural point for the president to work around,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: like my fourteen year old does when he doesn't like
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: my answers.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So as that hearing was unfolding, the Trump administration activated
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a third States National Guard. Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a statement saying he quote fully authorized the President to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: call up four hundred members of the Texas National Guard.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: The plan is to send them to Oregon and also
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to Chicago, where the situation is growing more tense by
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the hour. Federal agents through tear gas at protesters over
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the weekend. One woman shot by agents after allegedly ramming
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: her car into an ice vehicle. The Department of Homeland
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Security also released this edited video promoting its raid of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a south Side apartment complex last week. The raid resulted
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in thirty seven arrests and separated four American children from
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: their undocumented parents. Illinois governor says the raid was designed
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to create panic.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: What kind of a country are we living in? And
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: this raid at this building is emblematic of what Ice
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and CBP and the President of the United States, Christy
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Nome and Greg Bovino are trying to do. They want
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: mayhem on the ground. They want to create the war
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: zone so that they can send in even more troops.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Now they're claiming they need three hundred of Illinois's National Guard.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Joining me now in the group chat. Sarah Fisher, CNN
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Senior media analyst and senior media reporter at Axios, Stephen
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Collins and CNN Politics senior reporter, and Sabrina Rodriguez, national
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: politics reporter at the Washington Post. You guys, thank you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: for helping me start the week. I know that was
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of jarring imagery, but I'm interested in it
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: because Chicago was one of those cities where you saw
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a difference in voting patterns after the election. Latino voters
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: moved to drum. There were some black voters who stayed
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: home and now those very people right now are under
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: threat right based on what we're seeing from ICE. So
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: help me understand Sabrino. What is it that the administration
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is trying to address here by drawing the National Guard
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: from all these different places.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Well, we see from the Trump administration their playbook in
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: recent months has been talking about deploying troops to cities
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: that the President deems are unsafe, have high crime rates.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: He sort of has painted this picture of these as
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: very violent cities that you know, the troops need to
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: come in and get control it. You know. Is not
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: a coincidence, of course, that these are democratic led cities
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: that he has long you know, bashed the LEADLeadership of
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: even prior to his second term starting.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: But you just sort of elevate someone like Pritzker right now.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like I see Pritzker every week.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Yep, people co happen with Gavin Newsom. Part of his
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: political career now has been his ability to push back
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: on Trump and do it in a very national and
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: visible way. I also think this is the same problem
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: that we saw when they tried to do this in California,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: when they did this in DC, which is that people
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: who voted for Donald Trump, Latinos and others. A lot
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: of them understand that immigration is a priority writ large,
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: it's the way that they go about it. And when
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: you see the type of dramatic imagery being shown on
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: national television of parents being separated from their children, of
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: people being rammed into cars, that does not support what
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: most people in any city want to see.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: But does it support the idea that ice needs to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: be protected and therefore you have to send more people in.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: I think it supports the idea that what the president
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: is doing is try to impose power everywhere through the states,
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: in cities. It makes him look good to his supporters,
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: which is mostly he's done throughout the span of his
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: two presidencies. It's interesting how the administration seems to reserve
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: a lot of its more authoritarian moves for weekends when
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: people aren't watching. So you have all these court battles
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: unfolding late at night at the weekend. You have this
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: Trump appointed judge first of all, saying you can't send
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: you can't federalize the National Guide in Oregon. Then the
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: administration decides, okay, well we'll just send some troops from
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: California there. The same judge had to come out on
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: a Sunday night and have a hearing, and was pretty
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: exasperated because she was arguing the conditions for the deployment
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: of federal troops in a state that there is some
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: kind of rebellion against the federal government are not in
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: place here. So I think the question is does the
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: administration keep trying to push this you saw the troops
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: from Texas. Does it move a step further and invoke
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: the Insurrection Act which would create an even bigger legal
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: constitutional crisis arguing what they're doing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I want to show you guys recent polling on this.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: As always, I'm sort of interested in where independence are,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: but they where. How you feel about Trump deploying National
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Guard to US cities? I think partisan, it's pretty locked
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in to what you would expect. But the overall total
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: is now at fifty eight percent, and for independence that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: number is sixty seven percent. There's one other I want
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to show you Trump administration focus on troop deployments to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: US cities, just the idea that they're focusing too much
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: on it. This is cruising past fifty percent now. So
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: at a certain point does your promotion, say Christino, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and I sort of posting imagery as a good thing.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Is the public receiving it that way?
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I don't think so. And by the way, on the
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: concept of crime, one of the things we've found is
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: that crime is an issue that people really care about.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: The challenge is this is not how people want the
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: government to be going about tackling crime. Particularly when the
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: troops came here in DC, one of the things that
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: was people were very vocal about is the places where
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: we have crime, we need you to work with local
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: law enforcement, don't unilaterally send in the National Guard troops.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: And so I think when you see independents that are
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: pushing back like this, it's not broadly because people think
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: that tackling immigration is a bad idea. That's why a
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: big reason why Trump won the election. It's just the
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: way that he's going about it, and the images that
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: are being sent all over social media are not sitting
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: well with people.
