This move will allow the U.S. military to provide a more direct role in supporting federal immigration enforcement.News of this comes as Trump has suggested he will seek to replicate his successful takeover of DC with other crime-ridden cities such as Chicago and New York.According to Fox News News, here are the 19 states that will deploy forces.

Texas17. Utah18. Virginia19. WyomingThe status of these states’ National Guard involvement is effective from August through mid-November. Unsurprisingly, Texas is projected to have the largest Guard presence.Fewer than 2% of the authorized forces have mobilized so far, but the missions will expand in the coming weeks.Per Fox News, here is what the guards’ duties will consist of:The National Guard soldiers being mobilized will effectively serve as a support pillar to a sweeping federal interagency effort, while also serving as a visible deterrent force, a U.S. Defense official said. The service members supporting ICE will be performing case management, transportation, logistical support, and clerical functions associated with the processing of illegal migrants at the facilities.“The in-and-out processing may include personal data collection, fingerprinting, DNA swabbing, and photographing of personnel in ICE custody,” the official said.Fox News notes that the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 generally bars federal armed forces for civilian law enforcement.Because of this, they will be mobilizing under Title 32 Section 502F authority, which avoids the Posse Comitatus headache.“We understood ICE’s needs at that time to be more administrative in nature…as planning continued, working with our partners, it became clear more that ICE needed something different,” a U.S. DOD official explained to the news outlet.Notably, National Guardsmen will not be conducting law enforcement duties such as arresting violent criminals and illegals.“VNG personnel will not conduct law enforcement functions, and VNG support will not include making arrests,” a spokesperson for the Virginia National Guard told Fox News. “VNG Soldiers and Airmen will report directly to ICE leadership at their assigned duty locations but remain under the control and direction of the Virginia Governor and Adjutant General of Virginia.”The post The Cavalry is Coming: 1700 National Guardsmen from 19 States Mobilizing to Help President Trump Stop Illegal Migration and Crime – Here Is the Full List appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
