As Directed By Acting President Stephen Miller

 I’ve seen this movie:

Last week, the Secretary of Defense authorized the mobilization of up to 700 DoD military personnel in support of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas.

These service members, drawn from all components and operating in a Title 10 duty status, will provide logistical support, and conduct administrative and clerical functions associated with the processing of illegal aliens at ICE detention facilities. They will not directly participate in law enforcement activities.

I know how it turns out.

Abbott sent NG troops to the Texas border years ago. I think some of them are still there. Many got do bored (they had essentially nothing to do with), they went home (AWOL) or attempted suicide.

I don’t expect active duty personnel to do that. But I don’t expect to have a lot to do. I do expect they have military jobs they need to be doing. So it’s a lose-lose all around.
