Mattis agrees with Trump and agrees to send troops to US-Mexico border - Daily News - Duration: 7:47.

The Pentagon on Friday approved a request for additional troops at the southern border, likely to total several hundred to help the U

S. Border Patrol as President Donald Trump seeks to transform fears about immigration and a caravan of Central American migrants into electoral gains in the midterms

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis signed off on a request for help from the Department of Homeland Security and authorized the military staff to work out details such as the size, composition and estimated cost of the deployments, according to a U

S. official.Mattis, who is traveling in the Middle East, is expected to approve the actual deployments after all the details are ironed out, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss planning that has not yet been completed or publicly announced

The action comes as Trump has spent recent days calling attention to the caravan of Central Americans slowly making their way by foot into southern Mexico, but still more than 1,000 miles from U

S. soil.  Trump, who made fear about immigrants a major theme of his 2016 election campaign, has been eager to make it a top issue heading into the Nov

6 midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress. The president and senior White House officials have long believed the issue is key to turning out his supporters

The additional troops, possibly numbering 800 or more, would provide logistical and other support to the Border Patrol, said the official

This likely would include military engineers, aviators and perhaps military police to assist with security

No combat forces are to be deployed, but because some troops may be armed for self-defense, Pentagon lawyers were working out rules governing the use of force before final deployment decisions are made, the official said

It's not unusual for the National Guard to help with border security. Although active duty troops are sometimes called on for domestic emergencies like hurricanes or floods, they rarely deploy to the southern border

Fears of militarizing the border were fanned by a May 1997 incident in which a Marine on a counter-narcotics mission shot to death an 18-year-old who was herding goats in Redford, Texas

In the current situation, active duty troops will not be on armed security missions

The additional members of the military would assist the Border Patrol by providing things such as vehicles, tents and equipment

There already are about 2,000 National Guard troops there under a previous Pentagon arrangement

Trump has used the caravan to bolster his election-season warnings that the U.S

is being infiltrated by illegal immigrants 'pouring across the border,' whom he has painted with a sinister brush

He has claimed without any apparent basis in fact that 'Middle Easterners' were among the shirking group

At rallies and on Twitter, Trump has tried to portray the Democrats as pro-illegal immigration, even claiming, with no evidence, that Democrats had organized and paid for the caravan

He tweeted Thursday that, 'Democrat inspired laws make it tough for us to stop people at the border' and said he was using the military to respond to what he called a 'National Emergency

'The migrants in the sprawling caravan - once estimated by the United Nations to number more than 7,000 - are hoping to make it to the United States

Most are Hondurans, seeking to escape the poverty and violence that plagues the region

The caravan swelled dramatically soon after crossing the Mexican border on Oct. 19, but sickness, fear and police harassment have whittled down its numbers

Since entering Mexico at its southernmost tip, the group has advanced roughly 95 miles

Trump tweeted a direct message to the migrants Thursday, urging them to return home

'To those in the Caravan, turnaround,' he wrote. 'We are not letting people into the United States illegally

Go back to your Country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!'The migrants have largely been disconnected from news reports about them while on the road

When asked about Trump's tweets critical of the caravan and his vows to keep them out, they have generally responded that he should stop attacking them and said they would keep trying to reach the United States

Trump earlier this year ordered the deployment of National Guard members to the U

S.-Mexico border to respond to a spike in illegal border crossings. But those members remain under the control of the governors of the states where they're positioned, and their activities are limited to supportive roles, such as providing surveillance

The addition of 800 or more active duty troops, if approved, as expected, by Mattis, is in response to a request from the Department of Homeland Security, which manages the Border Patrol, a U

S. official said. DHS asked for help in various forms. It was not immediately clear why active duty forces were chosen, since National Guard troops can perform the same functions

Earlier this year Mattis authorized Pentagon funding for up to 4,000 National Guard troops on the border and thus far only a little over 2,000 have been used

Federal law prohibits the use of active duty service members for law enforcement inside the U

S. unless specifically authorized by Congress.Trump had tweeted Monday that he'd alerted Border Patrol and the military that the caravan was 'a National Emergy,' but the Pentagon said then that they'd received no new orders to provide troops for border security

But Trump told a rally crowd in Wisconsin on Wednesday that moves were underway.'Wait'll you see what happens over the next couple of weeks

You're going to see a very secure border. You just watch,' he told the crowd. 'And the military is ready

They're all set.'

U.S. urges all UN member states to fully enforce sanctions on North Korea - Duration: 0:46.

The United States is urging all UN member states to fully comply with sanctions on North

Korea.

In a statement Friday, the U.S. State Department welcomed a UN committee's decision to ban

port entry to three vessels suspected of engaging in illicit activities with the North.

However, it said member states should immediately end all sales of refined petroleum to North

Korea until the regime abandons its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

Meanwhile, according to Radio Free Asia on Saturday, the EU has followed the UN and included

more ships on its sanctions list for banned ship-to-ship transfers of refined petroleum

on behalf of the regime.

U.S. Justice Department confirms arrest of suspect in connection with mail bombs - Duration: 2:00.

We have arrested Cesar Seyoc in connection with this investigation.

As our investigation is still ongoing, I may not be able to answer questions

about his background or about his motive.

What I can say is that this was a nationwide investigation

of enormous scope and of the greatest importance.

We can confirm that 13 IEDs were sent to various individuals across the country,

each device consisted of roughly six inches of PVC pipe, a small clock, a battery,

some wiring and what is known as energetic material, which is essentially potential

explosives and material that give off heat and energy through a reaction

to heat, shock or friction.

Though we're still analyzing the devices in our laboratory,

these are not hoax devices.

I want to focus for a moment on the amazing work of our folks at the FBI lab.

Based on their initial analysis,

they uncovered a latent fingerprint from one of the envelopes containing an IED

that had been sent to congresswoman Maxine Waters.

We have confirmed this fingerprint is that of Casar Sayoc.

There is also a possible DNA connection

between samples collected from pieces of two different IEDs mailed in separate envelopes

and a sample previously collected from Seyoc in connection

with an earlier arrest down in Florida.

Today's arrest doesn't mean we're all out of the woods,

there may be other packages in transit now.

We need the help of everyone out there, every citizen, everyone in law enforcement,

everyone we've got to help with this investigation in the days to come.

The Midterms Minute bombs sap Republican momentum, Trump moans US news - Duration: 2:32.

The Midterms Minute bombs sap Republican momentum, Trump moans US news

In today's politics news: Trump puts 'bomb' in quotation marks; Gillum targeted by racist robocall; booster ad for McCaskill

In today's politics news: Trump puts 'bomb' in quotation marks; Gillum targeted by racist robocall; booster ad for McCaskill

Good evening, I'm Tom McCarthy with the latest from Washington and beyond. If you're not already receiving the midterms minute by email, sign up.

On Friday morning, Donald Trump tweeted, 'Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this "Bomb" stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows - news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!'

It's not clear what the president meant by putting the word "bomb" in quotation marks. Explosive devices were sent this week to at least 13 critics of the president including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Some conservative commentators had suggested the attacks were a leftist plot having to do with the midterms.

What does this mean? Within an hour of Trump's tweet, the first reports emerged that a suspect – an enthusiastic Trump supporter according to his social media – had been arrested in Florida. In an appearance at the White House shortly afterward, the president praised law enforcement, saying, "These terrorizing acts are despicable and have no place in our country." Trump did not muse further on the implications for the political horserace of the incident.

Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, who is African American, has been targeted by a racist robocall, the second time it's happened in his contest against Congressman Ron DeSantis. ABC News reported that "the voice on the newest robocall voice impersonates Gillum in an exaggerated accent and refers to the Democratic candidate as a 'negro' and a 'monkey'."

Say what? "Well, hello there. I is the negro Andrew Gillum and I'll be askin' you to make me governor of this here state of Florida," the voice says.

Why this matters In a moment widely interpreted as racist dog-whistling in August, DeSantis warned voters not to "monkey this up." Gillum jumped on that line in a recent debate between the candidates, saying "the racists believe he's a racist." FiveThirtyEight's forecast has the race as "likely Democrat."

An Epic-MRA statewide poll commissioned by the Detroit Free Press in Michigan found broad support for three ballot initiatives that would ease restrictions on marijuana, counter gerrymandering and make voter registration automatic when applying for a driver's license of state-issued ID. The marijuana legalization initiative had 57%-41% support, according to the poll; the anti-gerrymandering proposal had 59%-29% support and automatic voter registration had 68%-26% support.

Why this matters If voters indeed vote yes on proposal 2, which would set up an independent commission to draw redistricting maps in Michigan, the state's gerrymander could unravel, with possible implications for the balance of power in Congress.

A fairer playing field In the last three election cycles, Michigan has sent nine Republicans and five Democrats to the House of Representatives, despite a roughly equivalent number of votes being cast for each party statewide.

It's a booster ad for Missouri senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, paid for by a political action committee called Patients for Affordable Drugs Action. The group is running ads in nine states this election cycle around one issue: the need for lower drug prices. But as Democratic Representative Anna Eshoo in California has discovered, the group is not merely on the side of Democrats. Eshoo and others perceived of coziness with big pharma have been the targets of attack ads by the groups.

Will this help? Every little bit counts in the Missouri race, among the top three tightest senate races in 2018, according to Harry Enten's Forecast over at CNN.

US plans to send 800 troops to border as caravan travels through Mexico US news

Defense secretary expected to sign order as Trump seeks to make fear of immigrants a top election issue

Defense secretary expected to sign order as Trump seeks to make fear of immigrants a top election issue

The Trump administration is planning to dispatch at least 800 active duty troops to the southern border at the direction of a president who has sought to transform fears about immigration into electoral gains in the midterms as a caravan of thousands of migrants makes its way through Mexico.

The US defense secretary, Jim Mattis, is expected to sign an order sending the troops to the border, bolstering national guard forces already there, an official said Thursday.

The action comes as Donald Trump has spent recent days calling attention to the caravan of Central Americans slowly making their way by foot into southern Mexico, but still more than 1,000 miles from US soil.

Trump, who made fear about immigrants a major theme of his 2016 election campaign, has been eager to make it a top issue heading into the 6 November midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress. The president and senior White House officials have long believed the issue is key to turning out his base of supporters.

Late on Thursday, the New York Times and Politico reported that Trump was considering an executive action – aimed at the caravan of people currently travelling through Mexico – to bar migrants, including asylum seekers, from entering the country at the southern border.

The additional troops would provide logistical and other support to the border patrol, said the US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a plan that had not been finalized and formally announced.

It's not unusual for the national guard to help with border security. Active duty troops, however, are rarely deployed within the US except for domestic emergencies like hurricanes or floods. Fears of militarizing the border were fanned by a May 1997 incident in which a marine on a counter-narcotics mission shot to death an 18-year-old who was herding goats in Redford, Texas.

He tweeted Thursday: "Democrat inspired laws make it tough for us to stop people at the border" and said he was using the military to respond to what he called a "National Emergency".

Most of the migrants in the group are Hondurans, seeking to escape poverty and violence, and include families with children.

The caravan swelled to about 7,000 people after crossing the Mexican border on 19 October, but sickness, fear and police harassment have whittled down its numbers.

Trump tweeted a direct message to the migrants Thursday, urging them to return home.

"To those in the Caravan, turnaround," he wrote. "We are not letting people into the United States illegally. Go back to your Country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!"

The migrants have largely been disconnected from news reports about them. When asked about Trump's tweets, they have generally responded that he should stop attacking them and said they would keep heading north.

Candy Guillermo, a 37-year-old migrant in the caravan, said she and the children in group would be considered a threat. "Trump should be more humanitarian," she said. "We only want to give our kids a better future."

Migrants who do reach the US border can claim asylum under US and international law. Those who clear an initial screening are often released until their cases are decided in immigration court, which can take several years.
