Still trying to figure out - 1) troops on the border right now, combined w/ 2) govt shutdown, combined w/ 3) DJT emphasis on human trafcking (EO active) in rose garden, combined with 4) posse comitatus
Posted this article earlier - 3 out of 4 mentioned in it. Is DJT going to use BHO’s EO? Is WaPo article a setup by Trump? He actually says “great time for a shutdown”.
Article 11/17/18 excerpts:
“If I was ever going to do a shutdown over border security — when you look at the caravan, when you look at the mess, when you look at the people coming in,” the president said. “. . . This would be a very good time to do a shutdown.”
To date, the troops — barred by the Posse Comitatus Act and Pentagon regulations from engaging in law enforcement activities on U.S. soil — have strung barbed wire along miles of the border.
