President Trump's chief of staff, John Kelly, reportedly signed a "Cabinet order" late Tuesday that gives the thousands of U.S. troops deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border permission to carry out some law enforcement tasks and use force in certain situations in dealing with as many as 10,000 Central American migrants who have traveled to the country as part of a caravan.

The memo says "Department of Defense military personnel" can "perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary” to protect themselves and all U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel, including “a show or use of force (including lethal force, where necessary), crowd control, temporary detention. and cursory search," according to the Military Times.

Approximately 5,800 active-duty troops and 2,100 National Guard troops are stationed at various regions of the southern border.

What happens to Trumps supporters when he leaves the WH?

I think he will lose his election and his base will go to war. They will leave the Republican party and start their own party.

De nial is not just a river in Egypt.

So let me get this straight.LOL. I can't stop laughing. 45 is sooooo in denial that they lost the house, he is saying that people were changing into disguises to vote twice. ROFL. And the Republican losses were all about their worship of 45and how they co-signed on his bullshit. They won't eat it in public but I bet they do in private. They won't kick him to the curb so they deserve to lose. Rofl.


'YOU lost cause YOU didn't kiss my ass'- 45
