Active-duty U.S. troops are now just feet away from migrants in Texas

[Soph0571]

Active-duty U.S. troops are now stationed inside the Border Patrol's holding facility in Donna, Texas, and monitoring migrant adults and children from just a few feet away, according to two current and two former defense officials, a move a congressman says comes close to violating a 140-year-old federal law.

Despite past assurances from federal officials that the active-duty U.S. troops deployed to the border would not be in direct contact with migrants or be used for law enforcement, the service members stand watch among the migrants. The troops are perched on raised platforms throughout a large room where the migrants are held, according to the four officials.

The troops were assigned to the facility to provide welfare checks on the migrants, but the officials say that has evolved into a continual presence watching over them.

It gets scarier every day...

1. So another 'norm', another federal law, falls

under the heels of our new Dictator.

The military officers who allowed themselves and their troops to be subborned are forsworn. They might as well serve as Trump's army now.
