Mediakartel verspreidt nepnieuws over Trump: "De Nationale Garde arresteert illegalen!" Wordt trending op Facebook
AP went from the pictured language to "Trump weighs mobilizing National Guard for immigration roundups" and you all fell for it. pic.twitter.com/BNl2fDBWeR

Issues with the piece. (1) Contra headline, tweets there is no support for claim that Trump was involved.

(2) 100,000 number is not specified in memo. Would be ALL NG in those states, which isn't possible since have to circulate through duty.

(3) Interpreting "function of immigration officer" in memo to "round up" in AP piece ignores alternate duties, including surveillance.

(4) AP did not release the memo with the report. Other outlets had to get their own copies before AP would release.
