I think he said the magic word: "Federalize."
Highly embarrassing to Brown, totally legal, cuts Brown off at the knees.
Ah, good point. Thanks.
Very good. Thanks.
Brown issued an order that the National Guard be sent to help “combat criminal gangs, human traffickers and illegal firearm and drug smugglers — within the state, along the coast and at the U.S.-Mexico border.”
However, the governor sent military personnel on the condition that “the California National Guard will not enforce immigration laws or participate in the construction of any new border barrier.”Let’s be crystal clear on the scope of this mission,” his letter reads. “This will not be a mission to build a new wall. It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws.”
So, in other words, they are going to do what they were assigned to do in the first place.
