The Defense Department has mobilized 700 troops to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Florida, Louisiana and Texas.
These troops will “not participate in law enforcement activities” but will “provide logistical support, and conduct administrative and clerical functions,” according to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell. The troops were deployed last week, Parnell said.
The three states have seen several large-scale ICE raids since Trump took office in January and implemented his hardline anti-immigration agenda, promising to carry out the “largest deportation operation in American history.”
Remember when we had the Posse Comitatus Act? The law that makes doing this unambiguously illegal?
Where those 2nd amendment rights Americans so viciously protect?
Oh right it was just for show. A country full of cowards. All those history books and films, starting to think it was exaggerated. Ain’t no way Americans are brave.
I’m really wondering what the real reason is behind the anti-immigrant actions. Sure, racism is part of it, but there has to be a money aspect for somebody because of all the extra business.
This is generating a ton of jobs in louisiana, which is basically the last slave state as-is with how their prisons are run anyway.
The private prison executives had a leaked meeting where they celebrate Trump’s victory.
Fun fact, the USA still practices slavery by making prisoners exempt from the 13th Amendment which in all other cases abolished slavery. A lot of industry is constructed by convicts for cheap cheap.
and we will spit in the food of every one of them if we get the chance to.
So they want to kill all the cheap labor based businesses in core red States? Congratulations. Smart decision. This will definitely boost the next election results.
They don’t plan on having a “next” election. And those businesses will have their workers clearly supplied to them on contract from the federal labor camps they’re already working to build.
That is a big possibility, yes. They did the same here 80 years ago, and you know where that ended.
