White House denies it’s considering using National Guard to round up illegal immigrants
The White House flatly rejected a report on Friday that said President Trump is weighing plans to mobilize thousands of National Guard soldiers to begin apprehending criminal illegal aliens across the country.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters aboard Air Force One “this is not true” and that the Department of Homeland Security “also confirms it is 100 [percent] false.”
He made the comment after the Associated Press reported that Trump could use “as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants.”
The AP report claimed that administration officials have been circulating an 11-page document over the last two weeks that proposed sweeping immigration enforcement actions in border states California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

So, media, you know Trump White House is just leaking crazy memos like this so you'll run with them and get further discredited, right?

MSM needs to approach Trump WH like a Russian intel op. Assume all info is fake until proven true. It's 1 big operational game.
