Not a lie. Just because the entire cities are not in chaos does not mean there is not serious violence problems right now. They have been out to go unfetter and it's time to stop it. I'm not sure why you can't understand that.

Trump's repeated lie is that these cities are out of control.
When the city leadership, their local police, and state governors are repeatedly telling you that they have things under control and DO NOT NEED NATIONAL GUARD, that is it. Leave them alone.
State's rights include calling up the NG. The local people know best whether they need NG or not.
Why is this so hard to understand?
Why should the city officials be taken 100% at their word and everything Trump says and does be scrutinized and assumed is with nefarious intent?Ag98and03 said:

Especially when we are inundated with video in both Chicago and Portland of mobs opposing ICE while throwing things at vehicles and assaulting federal officers?
Your logic is horribly flawed.

Immigration is a federal issue and there is a coordinated domestic terror campaign against ICE and DHS. Some of the people claiming they don't want the national guard are helping or ignoring the progressive terror groups attacking federal agents. End of story

You can't shut off money to states that you disagree with. That's not how this works. Power of the purse belongs to Congress.
Again, another check and balance that for some reason you guys want to destroy.
What happens if a Democrat is in office and decides to cut off Texas funding for whatever reason?
Our Constitution has to hold. Our government laws have to hold. If they don't, we literally can lose our country.

MAGA rallies aren't unconstitutional. MAGA rallies don't fall under the very narrow scope of law enforcement the federal government actually has.
It is the duty of the federal government to enforce immigration law PASSED BY CONGRESS, and no city, municipality or state can obstruct the federal government from enforcing those laws.
However as we learned under the traitorous Biden, if the federal government does abdicate those peers, states are well within their rights to move to enforce the federal immigration laws themselves.

No they do not. This is why they keep repeatedly saying "no National Guard". The presence of NG does nothing but ramp up high emotions.
I think Trump, Hegseth, and especially Stephen Miller are hoping for a reason to deploy the actual military against US citizens. They are wanting this to blow up tensions.

How about Trump give them what they want? Remove all federal help and let chi town sanctuary city degrade at a rapid pace. These Chicago fools voted for these morons so I say let them get what they voted for. Absolute idiocy. Close all of the federal facilities there out of an abundance of caution because of the threats. Watch the fallout.

You guys are fully authoritarian. You want the federal government to shove whatever they want down state's throats.
The president makes up a stupid lie. You guys believe it.
And then you send in NG against the city and state's protests.
This is authoritarianism.
You are ripping state's rights away based on the premise of a lie. This helps no one. You are giving far too much power to the federal government
What happens if a Democrat gets into office and decided MAGA rallies are terrorist activities and sends in the NG against the state's repeated declarations that all criminal activity is under control by the local police?
Do you want a future president to have that power? Are you really thinking this through? I don't think you are.

And you've gone full ________. I don't want the feds anywhere near where they don't belong. But the FACT is, during the Obama "admin," the state of Arizona tried to do something the feds at the time wouldn't do -- enforce the border requirements -- and the feds SUED them. The USSC said, wrongly in my view, that this was EXCLUSIVELY Federal jurisdiction and the states couldn't do anything about it. The left cheered.
Now, when the Feds ARE doing something about -- and have the law on their side, even the one the left "signed off on," the left doesn't want them doing it.
The fact is, the lunatics and authoritarians, like you, are on the left. They don't want these laws enforced because that diminishes their power. That's NOT a constitutional reason.
Your MAGA rally comparison is not only off by a factor of a million, its stupid. There's no protected free speech in refusing to allow the Feds to enforce Federal law.

Yep, or for just one MAGA identifying person to commit an act of violence like the trans loving freak did with Charlie Kirk.
JUST IN: Illinois U.S. District Court Judge April Perry (Biden appointed) has DENIED issuing an immediate restraining order to block the Trump administration from sending in National Guard troops to Chicago.
