President Trump is planning on invoking the Insurrection Act to remove illegal aliens from the Unites States.
The Daily Caller’s Amber Athey reported that multiple senior Trump administration officials said President Trump will soon invoke the “tremendous powers” of the act to get rid of illegal aliens leeching off the fat of the land.
“We’re doing the Insurrection Act,” one official said.
Under the Insurrection Act of 1807, the president has the authority to use the National Guard and military in order to combat “unlawful obstruction or rebellion” within U.S. borders. The act was last invoked in 1992 by George H.W. Bush to quell the Los Angeles riots, and was also used by Eisenhower in 1957 to enforce school desegregation in the south.
An official expressed concerns that Trump’s use of the act’s powers would face legal challenges, pointing to the lawsuits against the president’s travel ban from majority-Muslim countries. However, as the official noted, the travel ban ultimately prevailed in the Supreme Court.
In addition to the Insurrection Act, the president is also considering declaring the country full and insisting that the U.S. can no longer handle the massive influx of illegal immigrants. 2019 is currently on pace to reach the highest levels of illegal immigration in a decade.
A record amount of illegal aliens have poured over the US border in 2019.

thanks, ichabod1
Do it!!
Lets fix this lib/RINO/COC/OpenBorders inflicted mess!!
I pray this is true
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections [emphasis added] and repel Invasions;"
MAGA!
The best news all day...
The new law of 2006 says! The law changed the name of the chapter from “Insurrection” to “Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order.” Under this act, the President may also deploy troops as a police force during a natural disaster, epidemic, serious public health emergency, terrorist attack, or other condition, when the President determines that the authorities of the state are incapable of maintaining public order. The bill also modified Sec. 334 of the Insurrection Act, giving the President authority to order the dispersal of either insurgents or “those obstructing the enforcement of the laws.”
Well, if this is true, stay well out of shrapnel range of leftists and many libertarians.
Their heads are really going to be exploding over this.
Show me.
About 10 minutes after someone posted this on the Trump Train thread, another poster put up a reply from the WH Press Office debunking the thing in it’s entirety. Check out the WH, TT, or do a www word search to confirm or deny the gist.
Good luck!
“I pray this is true”
AMEN!!
While we are at it, invoke the insurrection act against the Democrat party.
Yes, it's much ado about nothing. More fake news.
I no longer take stock in the Gateway Pundit. They are sensationalists.
GO TRUMP, GO!!

I did a bunch of searches about whether the Insurrection Act thing was debunked; couldn’t find. Around where on the TT is it?
Daily Caller is owned by Tucker Carlson, and if the article was based on false info, it would be retracted. Still up. no retraction (yet).
