Trump Administration Authorizes National Guard Deployment to Immigration Facilities in 20 States
The Trump administration has authorized the deployment of National Guard troops to immigration facilities in 20 states, primarily those with Republican governors, as part of an intensified immigration crackdown. These troops will assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with 'alien processing,' handling administrative and clerical tasks rather than direct enforcement, while ICE leadership will direct their mission. The deployment, scheduled to begin in early August, marks an escalation in the use of military forces in civil immigration enforcement, raising concerns about circumventing the Posse Comitatus Act and the potential erosion of civil liberties. Approximately 1,700 National Guard members are authorized to assist ICE, replacing Marine Corps and Naval Reserve units previously assigned. Critics warn that this increased military involvement in immigration enforcement blurs the line between military and civilian law enforcement roles and could signify a shift toward more militarized domestic operations. The Pentagon states the troops will operate under state control (Title 32 status), but experts argue this does not alleviate democratic concerns.
