Sen. Rand Paul, usually a conservative favorite, is facing some backlash for voicing dissent against plans to use the military to deport illegals. Appearing on Newsmax this Tuesday, Paul called the tentative plan of using the military to round up and deport illegals a “terrible” idea.

And it’s actually been illegal for over 100 years to bring the Army into our cities.” “Our Army and our military are trained to shoot the enemy. They’re not trained to get a warrant to do what they’re doing. The police have a difficult job, but the people removing people from our country need to be a police enforcement domestic agency, not the military. I’m not in favor of sending the Army in uniforms into our cities to collect people. I think it’s a terrible image,” he added. The senator later doubled down in a Twitter/X post, writing, “We, as conservatives who are supportive of Trump, need to caution him about sending the army into our cities. It’s a terrible image to send the world, and it’s a terrible image for us as citizens.” Critics staunchly disagreed. “This is especially galling when we have weak, complicit Republicans who are more concerned about optics and feelings than following our laws and prioritizing the safety of American Citizens,” one critic tweeted. “How about instead of going at Trump before he is even in office, you focus on Democrats filling our cities with illegals and maybe also focus on having Congress intervene and stop the current administration from getting us into WWIII,” another critic added.
