A county judge says Texas National Guard troops will go door-to-door in Dallas neighborhoods to ask about coronavirus, as residents are under shelter-in-place orders to stay home during the outbreak.
According to NBC affiliate KXAN, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins claimed the troops would merely be conducting a “medical mission,” and not enforcing quarantine restrictions.
“Uh, it’s pretty serious when you know the national guard, the Texas National Guard that they’re heading out to neighborhoods in the Dallas area,” reported KXAN’s Sally Hernandez.
Judge Jenkins “said Texas National Guard troops would be on a ‘medical mission,’ and not there for law enforcement reasons. They would check in with people to see who may have come in contact with coronavirus patients,” KXAN reported Friday.
Jenkins, an anti-Trump Democrat, later tried to tamp down “conspiracy theories” on Twitter, saying National Guard nurses, who would be wearing military uniforms, would only be “doing tracing interviews.”
“Tap the brakes conspiracy theorist. National Guard nurses wear military uniforms but are still nurses. They are doing tracing interviews and have no authority to quarantine people. Only @DCHHS can quarantine and only a person who is COVID19 /non-compliant and refuses to stay in,” Judge Jenkins tweeted Friday.
Judge Jenkins signed the “Stay Home Stay Safe” order last Monday through April 3, which prohibits residents from leaving their homes, except for “essential activities,” or driving to or from “essential businesses.”
Democrat-run strongholds are wasting no time using the coronavirus pandemic as a smokescreen for an authoritarian power grab.
On Thursday Infowars reported on neighboring Tarrant County passing a measure suspending private property rights and allowing the county to “commandeer of use any private property.”
Over 300 people had tested positive for coronavirus in Dallas County, with seven deaths reported

Abbott bump!
The Judge is a fool.
This is Info War crap.
Fake News.
I believe Texas State Guard is what is being activated. Not sure..

The Texas State Guard is a Volunteer State Military Force which assists and augments Texas Civil Authorities in times of Texas State Emergencies and in On-Going Support of Local Communities. The Texas State Guard consists of 6 Regiments, The Texas State Guard Air Wing, The Medical Reserve Corps, and the Naval Regiment.
Our Volunteers, similar to not for profit organizations, receive no compensation for their time, simply, the satisfaction from helping others in need. Hence, our motto; “Texans Serving Texas”
Our organizational structure is modeled after the Active Military forces structure, with position ranks, protocols, and authorities. In addition, our volunteers wear military uniforms when conducting activities for the Texas State Guard.
We have Texas State Guard components throughout the State of Texas that provide the following services in times of emergency;
•Shelter Management
•Shelter Control
•Shelter Operations
•Medical Services (Doctors Nurses, Paramedics)
•Assists local authorities in mass feedings
•Volunteer Coordination
•Legal Support (Attorney’s and Paralegals)
•Communications
•Chaplain Services
“God bless you for your service, son.
Now get the f*ck off my property.”
Go to his house and demand a prostate exam
Ohhhh, so maybe THAT’s what the million personnel call up back to Active Duty is for. Gestapo going door to door. And I thought the “census” was oppressive.
“Just as you are perfectly within your right to close the door and refuse to talk.”
That right there is funny. That right, along with many others, are being systematically destroyed.
I didn’t say it was easy, I said if you want to stop this thing quickly that’s how you do it. Yes everyone... anyone positive quarantine anyone not life goes in..
As President Trump said yesterday about that very idea “ridiculous.”
Last I looked, a County Judge is NOWHERE anywhere near to being on the Chain of Command of even the newest Private in the National Guard - let alone National Guard commanders. Last I looked, their CoC went from the senior-most General in the state’s NG up to the state’s Governor.
Nothing says social distancing like sending people to your door.
I wouldn’t worry about it - any National Guard Officer or NCO worth their salt knows that this County Judge isn’t in their Chain of Command and hence the NG is of ZERO obligation to follow the Judge’s orders in regards to NG operations.
Bingo.
And making note of every crack pipe, grow light, weapon and food hoarding at every house as they bring in CV themselves.
How do I know National Guard nurses don’t have The Virus? I wouldn’t be answering the door.
“Tap the brakes conspiracy theorist...”
Why don’t you just “stay in your lane”, judge?
Why does everything that is happening have a dress rehearsal feel to it.
It doesn’t feel quite like it’s “going down” but it kind of ALL feels like this is practice for when a a Sanders/AOC type becomes President.
They have the pretext..a deadly virus. All they need is a handful of “doctors” to claim it is much worse than it actually is.
Then they can seize Manufacturing. They can tell people to stay in their homes. They can send government people to your house to check on you “to make sure you are okay”
They can easily spend 2 Trillion dollars..maybe the next time it will be 5 Trillion ..and it won’t benefit The People.
Ban gun sales. Pots okay.
It’s amazingly easy.
If he’s up for reelection, there is at least something that can be done about him down the line. I live in Denton county, and Andy Eads, who instituted the lock down order is up for election from what I’ve been able to determine. He could be running against Hillary and I’d vote against him.
I would recommend the following statements and questions be used in such conditions as appropriate:
1) "I do not want to be encountered or engaged"
a) "Are you a law enforcement officer performing in official capacity"?2) "I do not answer questions from law enforcement, agents of the State, or the press; without the presence of my attorney"
b) "Per your agencies policy on identification, please state your agency, your name, and your identification."
