President Donald Trump is planning on using the Insurrection Act to remove illegal immigrants from the United States, The Daily Caller has learned.
According to multiple senior administration officials, the president intends to invoke the “tremendous powers” of the act to remove illegal immigrants from the country.
“We’re doing the Insurrection Act,” one official said.
Under the Insurrection Act of 1807, the president has the authority to use the National Guard and military in order to combat “unlawful obstruction or rebellion” within U.S. borders. The act was last invoked in 1992 by George H.W. Bush to quell the Los Angeles riots, and was also used by Eisenhower in 1957 to enforce school desegregation in the south.
An official expressed concerns that Trump’s use of the act’s powers would face legal challenges, pointing to the lawsuits against the president’s travel ban from majority-Muslim countries. However, as the official noted, the travel ban ultimately prevailed in the Supreme Court.
In addition to the Insurrection Act, the president is also considering declaring the country full and insisting that the U.S. can no longer handle the massive influx of illegal immigrants. 2019 is currently on pace to reach the highest levels of illegal immigration in a decade.
“If you take a ship and it holds 1,000 people maximum — one more person and the ship is going to collapse,” the official explained. “The country is full.”
“Our hospitals are full, our detention centers are full,” they added.

‘I bet Barr suggested this.’
I bet you’re right. After all, he was also AG the last time the act was used, in 1992 for the LA Riots.
I hope. If he wins a second term and house majority it sure as hell will be.
I see Trump making the effort and using every tool in the box to make it happen. People can try to block him if they want. I expect the ‘rats to do it. RINO’s that do it can expect slim pickings at the ballot box.
Your average establishment Republican would melt into tears at the first harumph of displeasure from a Democrat.

Is that due to be released next week?
I've been running a bit behind the news cycle lately.
Do it now. Get through the inevitable court challenges, and keep on doing it.
AMEN, BROTHER! You are preaching to the choir! Patriots like us knew TWO years ago or sooner who the major players were in the Trump Coup and we wanted them arrested ASAP! Also, I have never understood why Trump didn’t fire Sessions the day after he recused himself from “Russiagate” In fact, why was Sessions appointed AG by Trump in the first place? Finally, why wasn’t Comey fired on the first day Trump took office? It was clear the guy was a lose cannon capable of raising two kinds of hell for president like Trump he detested. Trump could have come down like a ton of bricks in early 2017 on the whole rotten cabal of Leftist traitors! Why not?
Did he worry about starting a Second U.S. Civil War if he did? I wish I knew - I’d have a best seller.
Internet rumor says the Horowitz Report will be released on May 19th - but strictly rumor control. Also, that Comey is due to be arrested soon and will be the first in a long line of Leftist traitors to be hauled into court. But again - Internet rumor. Personally, I will hold off the celebration until if happens. (And this is NO Internet rumor)

You read a lot of things, few of which seem to be true. Maybe you need to focus on facts and not Confederate revisionist websites?
Exactly. Millions of invaders are poring across out border, unimpeded. Idiotic comments like "winning" in these conditions?
We're in a football game and it's the last quarter and we're three touchdowns behind. That's not "winning."
POTUS has done nothing yet.
Position overlapping minigun posts along the border and lay down a cone of fire ON the border(US side as people approach).
Fire for warning. If that doesn’t work?…
I volunteer to man one.
Declass
Having watched how Trump works, that might be the plan.
I call it the Howitzer Report.
Now I know why Comey was hiding behind those drapes with only his feet showing: “ Guilty feet have got no rythm...”
Easy.
Leftists could begin to counter this with armed resistance.
Mine’s itching too as bird hunting season doesn’t start until Sep-1st.
No send’em on a train to Hawaii. But it might tip over.
