The White House distanced itself Friday from a Department of Homeland Security draft proposal to use the National Guard to round up unauthorized immigrants, but lawmakers said the document offers insight into the Trump administration’s internal efforts to enact its crackdown on illegal immigration. Administration officials said the proposal, which called for mobilizing up to 100,000 troops in 11 states, was rejected, and would not be part of plans to carry out President Trump’s aggressive immigration policy.

As many as 100,000 National Guard troops could be mobilized to round up unauthorized immigrants as far north as Portland, Oregon National Guard soldiers stand at attention for a motorcade outside Trump International Hotel during a rehearsal for the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump that used stand-ins for the president-elect and other key figures, in Washington, Jan. 15, 2017. The Trump administration is considering a proposal to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants, including millions living nowhere near the Mexico border, according to a draft memo obtained by The Associated Press.
