TROOPS GRANTED EXPANDED POWER TO USE LETHAL FORCE ON MIGRANTS AT SOUTHERN BORDER 
 Breaking: Troop Granted Expanded Power To Use Lethal Force On Migrant At Southern Border The Trump administration is allowing troops stationed at the U.S.-Mexico border to engage in some law enforcement activities and, if necessary, use lethal force. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis confirmed to reporters on Wednesday that he had received a Cabinet order signed by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, not President Donald Trump, making engagement guidelines less restrictive. "The president did see a need to back up the Border Patrol [officers], and we received late last night an additional instruction authorizing us to implement additional measures. We're sizing up what those are. We already talked with folks over at DHS [Department of Homeland Security]," Mattis said.
