西雅图反对联邦警察的到来, 认为没必要让紧张局势升级

美国官员在周四表示，一支由美国国土安全部指挥的联邦边防人员队伍正在 "待命"，以保护联邦建筑。可是警察部队的抵达遭到了西雅图市长Durkan的反对，市长认为，特朗普政府安排这些警察前来的原因是因为本周末有街头抗议活动，但她还是认为没必要让紧张局势升级。市长说：特朗普政府周四已经承诺了不向西雅图派遣联邦部队，可是后来发现国土安全部的一支队伍还在该市待命。市长继续说："联邦部队如果像在波特兰那样进行干预，我们会准备采取一切法律手段！"

A federal of team of border officers, directed by the U.S. Homeland Security Department, was on “standby” to protect federal buildings, U.S. officials said on Thursday. Mayor of Seattle has opposed the arrival of U.S. tactical police forces in Washington state’s largest city as an unnecessary escalation of tensions by the Trump administration in anticipation of street protests this weekend. Durkan said the Trump administration had pledged on Thursday not to send federal forces to Seattle. She said she discovered later that the Department of Homeland Security had a team on standby in the city. “Should federal forces intervene like they have in Portland, we are prepared to pursue every legal recourse,” the mayor said.  source
