00:00The internet is slamming Donald Trump as he pushes to deploy the National Guard to Chicago
00:05and threatens to arrest their mayor.
00:08This is unconstitutional.
00:11It's no secret that Donald Trump has been doing and saying things that some presidents have never done before,
00:17and in some more recent cases, numerous Americans are not okay with it.
00:22Similar to other cities in the country,
00:24the president wanted to deploy members of the National Guard in the city of Chicago
00:28and around the same time made bold statements threatening to arrest the city's Democratic mayor.
00:34While judges are working to block his orders,
00:38the internet has been expressing its disappointment on social media.
00:42Since the raids have gotten more intense and widespread across the country during the summertime,
00:47more Americans have expressed outrage and massive protests have begun breaking out in numerous states.
00:54In an attempt to take control of these protests and shut them down,
00:58Donald Trump has begun deploying and attempting to deploy the National Guard in major cities,
01:04many of which have Democratic mayors or governors.
01:08Over the weekend, an appeals court ruled that troops sent to Illinois could stay there under federal control,
01:14but cannot be deployed until it hears further arguments.
01:17Despite neither of the political leaders having a criminal record,
01:21in a recent Truth Social post, the president's personal social media network, he wrote,
01:28Chicago mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.
01:32Governor Pritzker also.
01:35In addition to the 79-year-old's direct post,
01:38the White House spokesperson, Abigail Jackson, spoke on his behalf,
01:42stating, J.B. Pritzker and Brandon Johnson have blood on their hands, as reported by NBC News.
01:50This is unconstitutional, wrote one user.
