Democrats Unveil ‘Damning’ Report on Federal Troops’ Tactics

URGENT UPDATE: Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are set to release a shocking report detailing instances of excessive force used by federal troops against civilians. This report, highlighted in a five-page letter sent to the White House on August 17, 2023, is expected to reveal “damning” incidents that could escalate tensions across the nation.

In the letter, lawmakers, led by Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Chuy Garcia (D-IL), accuse the Trump administration of effectively waging an “attack” on American cities. They describe alarming scenes, such as federal agents operating armored vehicles and conducting military-style operations against civilians. The letter states, “gunmen atop armored vehicles train their sights on civilians, agents rappel from Black Hawk helicopters onto an apartment complex rooftop, and officers routinely shoot at and deploy chemical agents against civilians.”

The report also highlights recent violent tactics employed by National Guard troops in Chicago, where a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent allegedly shot an unarmed protester and told her, “Do something about it, b—-.” Eyewitness accounts detail indiscriminate tear gas deployment and the use of zip-ties to arrest innocent children, further intensifying concerns over the treatment of civilians.

The lawmakers’ letter criticizes the administration’s claims of restoring law and order, arguing, “its actions in the Chicagoland area demonstrate it is a catalyst for lawlessness and dysfunction.” They assert that the militarization of urban areas endangers the safety and well-being of community members rather than protecting them.

As the situation develops, the public will be watching closely for the official release of this report and its potential implications. The urgency of these allegations raises significant questions about the use of federal forces in domestic settings and their impact on civil liberties.
