"
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said Monday that the force would not change its stance on immigration enforcement,"
The Denver Police Department says it will not round them up. It is not our job either.
What does my local PD say about this? I should ask.
Trump has a bold plan to round up millions of illegal immigrants and deport them.
Its a plan. I have a plan to climb a tree to get to the moon. To get there requires some better means of climbing than scaling a tree. Initial progress will be rapid. Beyond that maybe pissing up a rope?
Who will be the cowboys doing the round up driving millions of people through a fence in our national border?
There is an historical model for the roundup and disposition of millions of people. The cowboys of that roundup were militarized wearing the uniform of their nation's military force; The Wehrmacht.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wehrmacht.
It is not my job here to explain the nature and mission of our armed forces. Wikipedia links are provided to explain it. I believe those links are more true than false. The real truth of course is what the law says, not references to the law made by Wikipedia which are more or less footnoted briefs of a much longer and more complex thing.
Trump has executive power over the National Guard. All members of the
National Guard of the United States are also members of the militia of the United States as defined by 10 U.S.C. § 311. The militia of the United States, as defined by the US Congress, has changed over time, complicating its meaning.[1]
This is the law regarding the Militia: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/USCODE-2011-title10/USCODE-2011-title10-subtitleA-partI-chap13-sec311. Like I said, longer and more complex. Maybe why we have lawyers. Take a couple hours to read and understand it or read a brief.
Calling up the Militia of the United States for roundup duty is legally a power of the President.
By
the longest stretch of interpretation the law might be applied to
militarizing local police forces to perform Militia duties? It relates
to the 2nd Amendment. There are two sides to that matter. It would
appeal to one side. Especially if the Commander in Chief called for volunteers.
We live in amazing times.
The way I see it this issue is headed for a rock and a hard place where it boils down to this: Over my dead body.
A civil war fought not over the Mason Dixon line but over Main Street.
Which side of Main Street will the local police be on?
Which side of Main Street will the Federalized Militia National Guard and/or local police be on?
Maybe hard to tell because the uniforms on either side will look the same?
A total police state would have all the uniforms on one side of Main Street, civilians on the other. Or perhaps like our election it will be a 50/50 split?
A river has become a microcosm of Main Street and an preview of what is to come?

Read it and weep:

There are certainly some illegal immigrants that should be deported for lawful reasons. A few not millions. Deporting millions is more in the category of collective punishment. That however has become accepted national policy of several nations.
Worst case scenario is rapidly heading toward most likely case scenario.
Where is Paul Revere?
Maybe not that many criminals?

Ones with outstanding arrest warrants are a matter of police attention and action.
