New York, Portland, and Seattle sued the US federal government

New York, Portland, and Seattle sued the US federal government

 On the 22nd, the municipal governments of the three cities of New York, Portland, and Seattle jointly sued the US federal government in the Seattle Federal District Court against President Trump's calling these cities "anarchist jurisdictions."

The three cities including New York proposed that the so-called "anarchist jurisdictions" had no legal or factual basis, and required the courts to revoke their "notorious reputation" and prevent the federal government from using this as an excuse to deprive them of the funds they deserve. Subsidy. New York Mayor De Blasio said that after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the federal government has been trying to cut off New York City's federal medical and health insurance funds, which is entirely for political purposes.

On May 25 this year, George Floyd, an African-American man in the United States, was violently executed by a white policeman, triggering a nationwide anti-police violent enforcement and anti-systematic racial discrimination protest. Earlier last month, Trump named in the memo that New York, Portland and Seattle appeared "anarchy" and threatened to deprive these cities of federal subsidies.2020/10
