Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted a report that the Trump administration is considering using the National Guard to round up undocumented immigrants for deportation, a claim that the White House has denied.
"That's despicable," Schumer told reporters during a press conference on Scott Pruitt's nomination to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. "That would be one of the most un-American things that would happen in the last century."
He added: "I just hope it's not true."
The Trump administration issued a strongly worded denial on Friday morning after The Associated Press reported that the administration was planning to mobilize National Guard troops.
"There is no effort at all to round up, to utilize the National Guard to round up illegal immigrants," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said of the report, according to pool reports.
The AP, citing a draft memo, said that the administration could use up to 100,000 troops.
The AP report comes as a string of high-profile immigration raids have sparked backlash from outside groups and Democrats.
Trump = Winning!
The media should keep asking that question until he is forced to verify or deny if it's true.
Come on Chuck....why the silence...he's refusing to say anything about this despicable accusation.
Breaking news:
Schumer is a pedophile.
.
OK, may not be true but he hasn’t denied it.
From one of the fantasy writers at AP. They don't even try very hard anymore to hide the act that they're lying.
It’s real shooee .... Get ready to watch ‘em be expelled
Wouldn't put it past Schmuckie to have done it himself. False Flag operation to get him in front of the cameras.
So, some people on the left make up fake reports about what the administration is planning to do. Then the rest of the left steps up to the plate and complains about how terrible these actions would be!
Naturally, the ONLY reason that administration doesn’t take the action (which it was NEVER planning in the first place!) is that the Schumer’s of the world called them out and “saved” us all from the terrible Trumpers.
Sounds like a game plan to me. That meme can be repeated indefinitely on any number of topics.
I agree. The reports on this subject are despicable. Just like Schumer.
I hope it’s not true.....Why not find out BEFORE you create a fake news report.
I’ll bet it was bait to catch a leaker!
No, Schmucky, having groups of people who are above the law is as un American as it gets.
He “hopes it’s not true?”
I’m pretty sure he would sell his soul ( again ) to make it true. What a maroon!
And they also say that the Alcalde is a trained gorilla ... but who would believe such nonsense?
It’s despicable that Chuck is so gullible.
He does like pizza and has never denied being a member of nambla
Next up....Enroll in the NG as a path to citizenship
Anyway,....what about the Selective Service Registration ...how are the Dreamers going to get around that one...?
LIbs Desperately want this talking point to take hold, and inspire Hispanic Riots to dominate the news cycles this weekend.
This one came STRAIGHT from Brock.
Keep the totalitarians all wrapped up in emotion-packed, fake stories so they stay away from real issues like laws and stuff.
That would be animal cruelty!.................
