D.H.S. Draft Memo: Use 100,000 National Guard Troops to Arrest, Deport Immigrants

February 19   On Friday the Associated Press (A.P.) reported the draft of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposal to use up to 100,000 National Guard troops in 11 states as immigration agents in rounding up and deporting untold thousands of immigrants. The report was issued by the office of John Kelly, DHS director, and stated it was intended to implement Trump’s executive order on “Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvement”. Spokespeople for the Trump/Pence regime first denied the A.P. story. Then they claimed it was an early draft. They gave no explanation for why the proposal had supposedly been rejected for now. No regime official ruled out the future use of the National Guard to round up immigrants.

Millions of people in the crosshairs of midnight raids; deportations that tear apart families; checkpoints staffed by armed military personnel popping up in barrios of cities and towns in the Southwest; soldiers boarding busses and trains to check for papers, and providing immediate punishment to those who don’t provide. This is part of the nightmare of the fascist America Trump is trying to consolidate. It is utterly unacceptable. For the future of humanity, we, the people, must drive this regime out.

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
