Immigration and Customs Enforcement via AP)This post is updated with DHS confirmation that the draft memo is legit -- but that never made its way up the ladder. During the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump toyed with the idea of deploying a “deportation force” to round up and deport undocumented immigrants. But DHS also tells The Post that the draft memo is real, despite being a "very early, pre-decisional draft that never made it to the secretary." And even as this was happening, his team wasn't totally disowning the idea of a deportation force. And in that context, a deportation force of 100,000 National Guard troops seems to fit with what Trump was advocating.
