Border troops authorized to use force, detain illegal immigrants: Report

The Washington Times ^ | November 21, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

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 Trump’s 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 Mexico’s southern border.

Homeland Security signaled it would welcome the assistance.

[Does so]

I heard the same on the news.

Sure, but be sure the tar is appropriately hot ...

I bet it’s now a Blumberg form. This EO is unconstitutional because:

1. Trump is a poopyhead
2. Immigration is a constitutional right
3. Waaaaaah!
4. Because you’re a judge and you say so.

Heard where?
I’d like to know which sources to avoid.

It does NOT block president from using Federal Troops in case of an emergency like this invasion.

In other news...

...today the National Guard has figured out that it can guard the nation!

[Elsie]

Lotsa ‘hearing’ going on these days!

I do vbelieve you have just presented their version of a logical, concise, legally valid argument!

And if you dare say it’s gibberish, you better hope he’s not antifa and packing. The leftard lawyer, I mean.

[eartick]

It was on OAN and from their field reporter talking with the troops commander. Avoid OAN If you choose. Your loss.

DOD has ALWAYS allowed activity duty to detain civilians foreign or domestic for they’re (military) own protection. No different than ARREST just terminology used. Military will detain , cuff , stuff, apprehend, jail then turned over to local civilian authorities or FLEAS when time allows. Did such as active duty for narcotics interdiction (JTF-6) in CONUS, Central and South America. SOP included use of deadly force. Precedent was set on this LONG AGO and still active today.

Eisenhower did it. Federal troops rounded up illegals and herded them back south. It worked until 1965 or so when lbj and teddy kennedy opened the gates to the candy store.

[ZULU]

LBJ was the start of this most recent crap.
But it has its genesis with Woodrow Wilson.
