Military Not So Keen on Being Part of Trump’s Deportation Plans
The Department of Defense has stated that the military’s duty is to defend the United States, and its personnel should not be used for law enforcement purposes.
The statement comes as President Trump has proposed using the military to round up and deport millions of undocumented immigrants.
Several military officials have expressed concern about the proposal, saying that it would stretch the military too thin and could damage the military’s reputation.
“We are not a law enforcement agency,” one military official said. “We are not equipped to do this job.”
