A federal source told Laura Loomer the National Guard are being staged in New York to prepare for Trump being sent to Rikers Island
State National Guardsmen are being posted to New York hotels in anticipation of Donald Trump being sent directly to prison by Judge Juan Merchan, according to journalist Laura Loomer.
Loomer claims a “federal law enforcement agent” told her that this move was prompted by the expectation that Judge Merchan would send Trump directly to Rikers Island when he is sentenced on September 18.
“A Federal law enforcement agent has just told me that the New York State National Guard has started staging guardsmen in hotels around the NYC courthouse where President Trump is going to be sentenced on September 18th, as they are expecting that Trump will be taken in to custody and sent directly to Rikers Island by Judge Juan Merchan,” Loomer Tweeted.
Loomer then went on to explain that New York Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul are relying on the National Guard and not the local police because the police are sympathetic to Trump.
“Source says the National Guard is being staged there because the Mayor of NYC and the Governor of New York both believe the police unions are preparing to stage a mass ‘out sick’ day in support of President Trump on September 18th because none of the officers want to be involved in the persecution of Donald Trump.”
Reactions to the story were mixed on social media, with the main dividing line being the question of whether the regime would be bold enough to send Donald Trump to jail.
“If this true, Civil War is around the corner,” Tweeted one user.
Others were sceptical: “Trump will win in a landslide if they do that… so I don’t think they will. They aren’t THAT dumb, are they?”
Donald Trump has described Judge Merchan, who oversaw his “hush-money” trial, as a “certified Trump hater.”
Merchan presided over the tax-fraud trial that led to the conviction of the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, and he is also due to serve as the judge for the fraud and money-laundering case against Steve Bannon, which begins next month.
