National Guard mobilizing in 19 states amid immigration, crime crackdown

“President indicates Chicago and New York could be next targets for expanded operations”

Up to 1,700 National Guardsmen are set to mobilize in 19 states in the coming weeks to assist the Department of Homeland Security with President Trump’s nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration and crime, Pentagon officials confirmed to FOX News.

Documents obtained by FOX News show planning for activations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming – with status effective from August through mid-November. Texas is projected to host the most significant Guard presence.

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 preforming 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.

Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, use of the military for civilian law enforcement is limited – but the National Guardsmen will be mobilizing under Title 32 Section 502F authority, to which Posse Comitatus does not apply. At the request of DHS, in July, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved hundreds of additional forces for DHS-ICE Interior Enforcement support, and switched existing approvals from Title 10 to Title 32 status.

Dang it!
Send ICE to Oregon. They’re all coming in here!
I’ve seen plates here from back east, the midwest, Colorado, California, Washington, Texas, Nevada, Arizona and even MEXICO in the last few weeks.
I’ve seen cars and vans with NO plates and they get away with it.
They’re all hiding out here!
Most of them have their car windows tinted, which is against the law, but the cops here let them get away with murder literally.

Doesn’t this hand the governors an opportunity to hobble the mission?

Looks like they’re sending to red governor states to preclude lawsuits.

Tim Walz retired in 2005 when he said he set down the weapons of war he had carried in combat, leading men into deadly battle to protect the people of the USA.-——which never happened and is stolen valor, dishonoring veterans.

The Dems enable this despicable monstrosity to run for office and to still hold office.

The Dems around us are guilty.

“Under Title 32, the guardsmen are under the command and control of their governors. So, it’s up to the governors when they’ll bring those forces …as the governors and the states coordinate with DHS, that timeline will differ state by state,” the defense official said. Vermont declined to activate its National Guardsmen, despite the authorization from the Pentagon to assist the DHS-ICE Interior Enforcement Mission.

All the states mentioned have Republican governors.

Arizona and Colorado but we’re hoping to change that for AZ in 2026.

Hopefully they can clean up Mogadishu on the Mississippi, aka Memphis.

Chicago isn’t the only place that needs attention. Businesses were tagged with graffiti in northern Illinois just south of the IllinoisWisconsin border several days ago. The criminal was caught, but the lib press up here is short on details concerning the offender.

Hopefully if we get rid of Griswold, we can fix Colorado back to normal.

I commented on another thread as to how this is possible? I mean it wasnt too long ago I as well as many others were concerned with Clinton crossing the Posse Comitatus line...

I know we are all for trump, and mainly because of the feral negroes I’. willing to look the other way on this but it is a bit concerning...

What say you?...
