Texas National Guard to make immigration arrests under agreement with Trump administration, Abbott says

In the past, National Guard troops and active duty military have filled “logistical, back-office, air support and observation” roles to help Border Patrol, said Gil Kerlikowske, former CBP commissioner during the Obama administration. If troops encountered undocumented immigrants, they would typically notify CBP — who would handle apprehensions and processing of migrants.

Now soldiers are being deputized and given arrest powers.

We have a weather phenomenon called a “Blue Norther.” The sky turns deep blue and the temperature can drop 30 degrees or more in a matter of minutes. Santa Ana’s troops died during a Blue Norther because the peasant foot soldiers were dressed in cotton shirts and pants.
