Due to reopen as a mosque for friday prayers after more than 80 years as a new. Im kyra trades and welcome to the show anger and on rest are growing in the United States following President Trumps announcement that he will send federal troops into several democrat controlled cities he says theyre needed to deal with a surge in Violent Crime but the trump deployment of federal forces already operating in Portland Oregon has been targeting protesters demanding Racial Justice but the mayor himself caught in the crossfire.
