The White House has signed a memo granting the troops stationed at the border authority to engage in some law enforcement and to use lethal force if they are in danger, according to a report in Military Times.
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly signed the memo, which allows troops to assist the Border Patrol in crowd control and even detaining illegal immigrants, the paper reported.
The memo appears to make good on President Trumps insistence that the military play a more active role in preventing the migrant caravans from overrunning the U.S. border, as they did a month ago on Mexicos southern border.

Posse Comitatus was adopted during the Hayes Admijistration to placate Southern State governments chaffing under Federal

"The exclusion of aliens is a fundamental act of sovereignty
inherent in the executive power," the Supreme Court said in 1950. And lest there be doubt, Congress adopted a provision in 1952 saying the president "may by proclamation and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens and any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants" whenever he thinks it "would be detrimental to the interests of the United States."
Yep. Start figuring the over/under...

Its over forvthe men in black as levin calls them
I wonder aloud if the TRO issued by the Redcoat judge in SF is a blessing in disguise in that it leaves Trump no choice to tread softly, gently in this Soros-infused quagmire but rather a full on pedal to metal pathway toward militaristic solutions.
I heard today they were being withdrawn from the border because they weren’t being allowed to do their sworn duty.
Put me down for news dump time, Friday at 5 pm Pacific time.
“How long before a Federal Judge gets their robe in a twist and issues an injunction?”
Of course most federal judges think they have such authority.
And the authority I’m referring to is to intervene between a CinC and the military in a national defense action.
However, no decent POTUS would pay any attention to them. And any who did should be impeached and removed from office.
