Grandma hated fancy things, so I only talk to her on this Ouija Board I drew on the back of a Denny’s menu

The White House has already previewed their legal argument in the military deployment at the border context; they argue it's not a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act because the troops are not arresting the person, merely temporarily detaining them for local law enforcement to arrive.
