The City of SeaTac is mourning the loss of newly appointed City Councilmember Amina Ahmed, who passed away as the result of injuries suffered during a fatal auto collision on Saturday, Dec. 8.We deserve to know more about the plans for the troops that have been sent to the US-Mexico border. “Sending active military to the border is questionable to begin with, but it’s even more problematic if they don’t have specific rules of engagement, and if they don’t have a specific assignment on what it is they’re supposed to be doing... I want an answer.”

Rep. Adam Smith demands answers from Pentagon, Trump over troops at the border
q13fox.com
As the humanitarian crisis continues at the U.S.-Mexico border, a Washington state congressman with a big voice on the House Armed Services Committee has more questions than answers on why U.S. troops are needed at the border.
I would also like to know what is going on at the border. Thank you Rep. Adam Smith for demanding answers.
What is your answer Congressman? To dealing with it. I understand the criticism of Trump. You have been in DC much longer, in control at times, and have not brought resolution. It is time.
Adam, you never said a thing while Obama was seperating kids from their familes at the border but now all the sudden you are more worried about invaders than representing the people of Washington!!! Focus dude, USA comes FIRST!!!
Shouldn't he get Congress permission first.
I would think you have more issues right here to worry about. Seattle: The Utopian Lie www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fWGKrxV3Pc&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2gB01Q2JepeLBjqvJO9g57jrFh7fDQZ67...
