Trump deploys US Marines

The Pentagon is sending 200 Marines to Florida to help “with critical administrative and logistical capabilities at locations as directed by ICE.” The deployment is part of a broader mobilisation of 700 troops across Florida, Texas, and Louisiana, approved by the Secretary of Defence on May 9 in response to a DHS request for logistical support with interior enforcement. It comes as deportations increase, including removals to South Sudan.

Officials say the Marines won’t be involved in any enforcement activities but their role would be administrative and logistical support, primarily working inside ICE detention facilities.

While their mission isn’t combat, the deployment has raised eyebrows, as a lot of people say they are uncomfortable with uniformed troops taking part in immigration operations.

While critics believe the deployment blurs the line between the military and domestic law enforcement, supporters view it as a needed step to help the strained immigration systems.

A statement from the NORTHCOM read, “These Marines are the first wave of U.S. Northern Command’s (USNORTHCOM’s) support of this ICE mission

“Other support locations will include Louisiana and Texas. Service members participating in this mission will perform strictly non-law enforcement duties within ICE facilities. Their roles will focus on administrative and logistical tasks, and they are specifically prohibited from direct contact with individuals in ICE custody or involvement in any aspect of the custody chain.”

The operation is approved by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“These service members, drawn from all components and operating in a Title 10 duty status, will provide logistical support, and conduct administrative and clerical functions associated with the processing of illegal aliens at ICE detention facilities. They will not directly participate in law enforcement activities,” Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnel said.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump deployed some 4,000 National Guard personnel and 700 Marines to California under a law known as Title 10, which enables the deployment of troops to defend federal assets and personnel.
