Reports are coming in which indicate National Guard Troops are being mobilized in nineteen separate U.S. States.
As yet (8:10 PM EDT) there is no formal explanation as to why.
Some people are presuming this has to do with fighting crime in America's largest cities. I'm not so certain. We would have had advance notice. We didn't get any.
There are no Hurricanes, or massive storms. No flooding, wildfires, or earthquakes. Why do this on a Friday NIGHT?
It seems "something's up." Whatever it is, it's huge.
More info as I get it.
Check back . . .
UPDATE 8:47 PM EDT --
I am now told this Order is for 1700 troops in nineteen states and has to do with using National Guard troops in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Raids against Illegal aliens.
The Order mobilizing these troops is said to be valid through November of this year. But again, this seems to be an odd - even absurd - explanation.
If 1700 troops are being mobilized in nineteen states, that's 89 soldiers per state on average. Not even an extra 100 guys per state; which is almost nothing. What's THAT gonna do?
No, this doesn't make sense. There's more to this. Digging further.
UPDATE 10:03 PM EDT --
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming -Status is effective from August through mid-November
