Now all options are on the table to resolve protests of a Racial Injustice in the u. S. City of portland thats according to acting Homeland Security secretary chad wolf one person was shot dead during saturday nights violence between rival groups there been demonstrations in portland every night now for more than 3 months since Police Killed george floyd in minneapolis president on trump is now also expected to visit the city of can no shot in wisconsin on tuesday thats where jacob blake was shot in the back 7 times by Police Nearly a week ago leaving him paralyzed thousands of people took part in another peaceful protest there but more than a 1000 National Guard members are on standby after early on rest in the city of moore all of this lets bring in our castro shes monitoring everything for us from maryland heidi it does feel like tension is escalating across the country lets start with what happened in portland clearly a community very much divided still lots of questions about just what happened to. Thats right and maybe in an hours time or so we will have some answers to those questions thats when well expect it press conference from the mayor of port one of the chief of police the major question is who pulled the trigger here what we do know is that the victim was a white man who was affiliated with the far right Portland Group now in video shot by a bystander we see him walking toward a parking garage we hear gunshots and we see him fall police say he was pronounced dead at the scene there but we dont know who pulled the trigger obviously the call the answer to that question could inflame tensions on either side because we know of what led up at least to that moment this was the 3rd consecutive saturday that black lives matter protesters clashed with pro Trump Supporters now yesterday on this saturday a caravan of some 600 vehicles carrying supporters had entered into portland carrying trump 2020 banners banners that also supported Police Officers and they were blocked in some areas by the black lives matter protesters who tried to stop them from entering Downtown Portland that resulted in some skirmishes there were this fights apparently some of the approach from supporters had paintball guns that they were shooting pain falls at the protesters the protesters were throwing objects there were certain there were several arrests but what exactly led to those pivotal moments before the death of this white man affiliated with the right wing group we still did not know the answer to that President Trump on twitter this morning tweeted a video that approach from supporters entering entering portland calling them great patriots and he has in the past many times used portland as a symbol of what he calls a city in chaos led by democrats who hes. He says are unable to contain the rage thats erupted across the country it was the 95th day of protesting in portland by black lives matter pro protesters ever since the killing of george floyd in minneapolis and trump has been floating the idea of putting federal officers and National Guard into portland to contain what he calls this violence that true he attempted to do that actually back in july when unmarked federal officers were deployed to the streets of portland they took people in for questioning without identifying who they were and rather than quell the situation portlands mayor has said that actually made it worse by attracting more counter protesters to the city and now the chief of staff of president trunk mark meadows was speaking with the press this morning saying all options are back on the table as far as having the federal government intervene weve had over 200 and are curious and theyre not Peaceful Protesters these are people that every single night conduct violent acts in and it is in democrat cities you know you want to talk about Donald Trumps. America most of Donald Trumps america is peaceful it is a a democrat led city important that were talking about this morning. Heidi trumps chief of staff there basically laying out their strategy of really how they plan to deal with all of this ahead of the november election it seems this announcement now of the president s upcoming visit to can osha hows that going over. Thats right on to say President Trump his plan is to visit can no show in person where on his agenda are meetings with Law Enforcement officials but conspicuously missing from that agenda is a meeting with jacob lake who is the black man who was shot by Police Officers at the beginning of this very long week he remains paralyzed and trump is getting a lot of heat from lives matter protesters who are calling him out for not reaching out to set up a meeting with jacob lake and with his family and of course that was only the beginning of the of the violence that were seeing in can no shock because soon after the shooting of jacob blake there were 2 black lies matter protesters who were shot and killed in the aftermath now the man charged in those shootings is a white teenager who apparently was part of a Militia Group that had gone into konoha to try to contain the protesters so so many loose ends here obviously were expecting press conferences from kenosha as well meanwhile President Trump was on a tweet storm this morning and one of those tweets also focused on this young man who has been charged with the can no shooting trump reach we did a follower who said who called that young man a good example of why they voted for trump trump has not clarified what he meant by that but again he will be meeting with Law Enforcement on tuesday he will not be meeting with a victim of the Police Shooting or the victims family all the media watching that as it very closely and all the reaction from that high desert caster there following all of those developments for us from maryland thank you heidi.
