White House press secretary Sean Spicer forcefully denied on Friday that the Trump administration is considering a proposal to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up illegal immigrants, including millions living nowhere near the Mexico border.
'That is 100 per cent not true. It is false. It is irresponsible to be saying this,' Spicer told reporters aboard the Marine One helicopter.
'There is no effort at all to round up, to utilize the National Guard to round up illegal immigrants.'

Was this leak a blue dye test?
I've got a sneaking suspicion that's what this was all about.
OPSEC, EEFI (essential elements of friendly information) and “need to know” should be set in stone !
I would so close down that WH press room and make em work off the same press releases given to the public every day. If they seek more let em file a FOIA request like the rest of us.
No presstitute should be allowed to dwell and hover inside the White House. Kick them to the curb yesterday. My opinion.
I could not find anything about Eisenhower using the Natl Guard in Operation Wetback. Anyone else find something?
There was an interesting fact in most of the articles. The self deportation ratio was 10:1.
They deported 50k, 500k self deported.
I think so, don't you. There's a completely false story leaked to the press, the press runs with it. Now all we need is for FBI Agents to show up at the office of whatever swamp thing it was to whom this 'confidence' was shared.
President Trump will see to it that there's never a dull moment in DC! Leakers beware!

I’d like to see the NG rounding up rogue judges, crooked polity, lying reporters and violent rioters.
#FakeNews! It’s not unprecedented at all!
To say it was a leak would be to admit the memo is real, or at least open up that possibility. Just deny, and leave the question in the news jerks’ minds whether the next document they are given is also fake.
too bad. it’sna great idea. they’ve had a free ride at our expense ling enough.
funny, the MSM is making Trump sound tougher on illegals than he is, which his supporters love and it gets the illegals in the mindset to leave. or gets them rioting which only furthers the need to get rid of them in people’s eyes. i don’t see any negatives from this.
He should've said NO COMMENT. Instead, denying this is happening is simply going to cause even more criminal, illegal aliens to flood our borders and cross over illegally.
Doesn’t Posse Comitatus only apply to US citizens?
The local Fox and their Nationmconnection noted that only AP was running with this fake news or not even news.
Fake.
Yesterday, El Trumpo honored the wife of a Venezuela political prisoner to Wash DC.
Today, UNIPARTY trying to take away his progress with this BS story.
It doesn’t apply to US citizens anymore.
How would that work? The media never divulge their source.
Skipping Seattle?
Most definitely.
Well....I WAS going OCONUS..... :0) but you are correct.
