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.

wouldn’t it be great if the 3-4K annually we pay for these communist/brainwashing schools could be used by English-speaking gringos again????
If he can deport all the miracle-grow voters for Democrats that would just leave us with some 60-70% of federal prisons filled with IA’s.
I voted for Trump because he was a disciplinarian I hope he delivers SOON.
Would love to see some ICE raids at all of the Plyler V. Doe schools about 3:30PM
Could be. He was recently in So Salvador, addressing the immigration problem. Pray without ceasing,because God is answering prayer!
Barr suggestion? Wouldn’t be surprised.
Seems to be this also could be applied to conspirators like congresscritters and rouge judges and a bias lying media and social networks that are filtering the truth.
“’Our hospitals are full, our detention centers are full,’ they added.”
As are our prisons, jails, schools, roads, and welfare rolls. Boot them out.
“Apply the Insurrection Act to Comey, Brennan, Clapper,
Strozk, Page, ValJar, Obama, and the entire corrupt,
treasonous Democrat Party! Why not?
They have been fomenting an insurrection! “
Since they are all so imbued by the communist ideology give them a choice, stay here and be hung by the neck or re-locate to Russia.
I prefer the first option for them.
Horowitz report?
That was done
National guard for one branch"
Absolutely wrong!!
A few troops and the guard were sent to do paper work, erect tents, dig ditches, transport children, and make sure their weapons were empty and stored...
Not a single action was taken to STOP the invasion of our southern border...
Unless you want to count when a few cowards surrendered to the Mexican army without the slightest struggle...
I agree with you.
We’ve got some pretty vocal Blacks out there who have switched up parties because of Trump. Man, I’d sure hate to admit to myself that these life-long Leftists have seen more than I could in Trump.
When I reference them, these are people who recite the defense of Capitalism and play down the attempts to divide us by race.
I’ve heard them on other issues too, and these folks get it.
They get Trump. What a time to be alive, and miss the true nature of the man who is leading us out of the wilderness.
You know, the Children of Israel had people in their ranks that criticized Moses too.
It goes with the territory.
(Not saying Trump is the same as Moses for the challenged among us...)
Trump needs another term to fully burn down “normal” Washington.
Most likely they are Globalists who benefit from the invasion. Some might be Deep State...and all that entails.
Best mofo president ever! Do it!!!!!!
Works for me. As for post #1: I’m sorry that there’s people out there with these problems. It’s not the US government’s job to fix those problems for foreigners.
In reality, he doesn’t need to do that. All he has to do is put out the call to the country at large, and it will be taken care of. Put bounties on gang members. Give letters of marquee to all involved.
Let the people do what they can to help.
I’ll let you mull over your comments before I explain to you why my comment wasn’t wrong.
Agreed...
LOL. How would rounding up illegals spark a Civil War?
Embed ICE agent into Army units. One ICE agent per platoon ought to do it..
I think its a distraction from his plan rolled out Thursday which is a Jared-Ivanka Immigration Plan.
Ann Coulter was warning about this in a column the other week.
