1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

If you think the shutdown vs. CR fight was a cluster, just wait until the fight over the debt ceiling, argues @davetroy.com . Dems need to start building coalitions now to avoid a calamitous default. america2.news/forget-the-b...
