“100% false. There is no effort to use the National Guard to round up,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in an email to The Huffington Post.
“The Department is not considering mobilizing the National Guard,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement.
And yet the memo discussing it is right there in the article. These effin guys….
A redneck guy at work said, at some point last year, that he would consider volunteering for the deportation force. He seems to have turned against Trump recently, so probably won't follow through.
Dahlia Lithwick's in "Slate" explanation of why this surfaced the way it did:
Whether the National Guard will be used to enforce Trump’s deportation plans is beside the point right now. What matters is how the White House responded to this story: It refused to answer when it was being reported and then trashed the ultimate report as “100 percent not true” after it came out. The purpose of that reaction is simple. It pushes the White House’s main narrative: that the press are peddling “fake news;” that the administration is rife with treacherous leakers; that everyone in the media and in government is conspiring to make Donald Trump look bad; and that the only person who can be trusted to tell the truth is the president himself.

Clint Eastwood? The empty chair would probably do a better job.
Hey, I hear Michael Flynn has some free time…
Yeah but Flynnie couldn't figure out how to call up the |Guard.| That's probably the real reason he was fired.

do you know what the cause of his change in attitude over our Dear Leader was?
He thinks Trump is causing the government to overreach more than Obama did.
He may have a point there.Too funny.>

Everyone, it's OK! Trump isn't really going to deploy the militia to round up immigrants!

But yeah, with things changing so fast and so drastically, I think I'm just going to keep my passport on my person to avoid being caught unawares.
