700 military personnel mobilized to support ICE in 3 states
- Last week, the Department of Defense approved sending approximately 700 military members to assist ICE operations in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida.
- This deployment followed reports of clashes and destruction during protests in Los Angeles related to immigration enforcement.
- Military personnel from multiple branches, serving under Title 10 status, will assist at ICE detention centers by handling logistical tasks as well as administrative and clerical duties, without engaging directly in law enforcement operations.
- Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that this assistance allows law enforcement officers to dedicate more time to their core responsibilities while collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security.
- The deployment is intended to enhance ICE’s ability to manage the rise in arrests, while the Department continues to prioritize achieving full operational authority over the border.
