How to use enlist in a sentence?

1. Dick Durbin:

   The president and the White House, particularly a man named Jeffrey Clark… put a full court press on the acting attorney general to try to enlist them in overturning the results of the last election, it was relentless.

2. Lorella Praeli:

   In the Warrant Service Officer( WSO) program, as it is called, sheriffs deputies would receive one day of training. Unlike the more involved 287( g) ICE program, deputies would not interview a detainee to ascertain his or her citizenship and immigration status. Instead, they essentially would file a federal warrant, directing the local jail to hold a criminal alien for 48 hours after the scheduled release until an ICE agent shows up to take custody. It is cheaper and may allow sheriffs to act without violating sanctuary laws. Expect blowback and scrutiny from opponents. This program is just the latest scheme by ICE to enlist local police in its abusive deportation agenda, the agency explicitly aims to subvert the will of local communities that have passed ordinances to prevent exactly this kind of cooperation between police and ICE.

3. Pope Francis:

   I ask myself how many young people that we Europeans have left devoid of ideals, who do not have work. Then they turn to drugs and alcohol or enlist in ISIS.

4. Queen Victoria:

   The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of Woman's Rights with all its attendant horrors on which her poor, feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feeling and propriety.

5. Philip Long:

   Youve got one life. I dont want to wake up and do the same thing every single day. Theres a whole world out there, he said. SoPinto, who has worked as an electrician at constructionsites, committed to cleaning up his diet and started hitting the gym. Pinto is 6-foot-1. For someone his age and height looking to enlist, the Armyhas set a maximum weight of 205 pounds. While his recruiterwas skeptical of Pintos goal at first, he supported him.
