1/ Trump once told Michael Cohen that he thinks black people are "too stupid" to vote for him and suggested that all countries run by blacks are "shitholes." Cohen also claimed that Trump remarked that "only the blacks could live like this" as they drove through a "rougher" Chicago neighborhood in the early 2000s. (Vanity Fair)
Pentagon is limiting what the President is requesting for calling in the active troops, and will not participate with any measures against migrants. Seems like a firm stand against T and DHS thankfully.
Pentagon rejects border troop request from DHS
Washington (CNN)When the Trump administration first asked the Pentagon to send troops to the southern border, they wanted them to perform emergency law enforcement functions, CNN has learned.
The Pentagon said no.
According to two defense official familiar with the request, the Department of Homeland Security asked that the Pentagon provide a reserve force that could be called upon to provide “crowd and traffic control” and safeguard Customs and Border Protection personnel at the border to counter a group of Central American migrants walking to the US border to request asylum.
The Pentagon rejected the request on October 26, according to one of the officials, even as it signed off on providing DHS with air and logistics support, medical personnel and engineers.
The request was turned down because the Department of Defense felt that active duty troops do not have the authority to conduct that type of mission unless they are granted additional authorities by the President.
Defense officials have repeatedly emphasized the troops at the border are there to support civil authorities and that they are not expected to come into any contact with migrants.
