to round up immigrants: http://missoulian.com/news/national/govt-and-politics/trump-administration-weighed-mobilizing-national-guard-for-immigration-roundups/article_f011fc66-da8a-53b5-a56d-4ee60a83de65.html

Sean Spicer states this is "100 untrue". I think the AP is more reliable than the White House on this. Is this another leak??? I can only envision massive protests that will result in a military crackdown. 45 is just that crazy and Bannon would get a big ol' woody over calling for martial law. This is terrifying.
