The Trump
administration considered a proposal to mobilize as many as 100,000 National
Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants, including millions living
nowhere near the Mexico border, according to a draft memo obtained by The
Associated Press.
Staffers in the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security said they had been told by colleagues in two
DHS departments that the proposal was still being considered as recently as
Feb. 10. A DHS official described the document as a very early draft that was
not seriously considered and never brought to Homeland Security Secretary John
Kelly for approval.
The 11-page document
calls for the unprecedented militarization of immigration enforcement as far
north as Portland, Oregon, and as far east as New Orleans, Louisiana. The
document can be accessed at http://apne.ws/2l1Dj0k
Four states that
border on Mexico were included in the proposal — California, Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas — but it also encompasses seven states contiguous to those
four — Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
