Up to 1,700 national guards are expected to mobilize in 19 states in the coming weeks to help the Ministry of Internal Security with President Trump’s national repression against immigration and illegal crime, Pentagon officials in Fox News confirmed.
Documents obtained by Fox News Show Planning for Activations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Caroline, South Dakota, Mid -Novee, Texas, Utah, Virginie, Wyoming – The mid November factory. Texas should host the most important presence of the guard.
The soldiers of the mobilized national guard will actually serve as a support for support for a radical federal interinstitutions, while serving as a visible dissuasive force, said an US defense official. Members of the service supporting ice will preform cases management, transport, logistical support and office functions associated with the treatment of illegal migrants in facilities. “Processing in and out of exit may include the collection of personal data, fingerprints, DNA stable and the photograph of staff in police custody,” said the official.

President Trump said in recent days that his administration aims to expand the DC operation in other states, saying to a group of federal agents and troops of the National Guard in a DC patrol center on Thursday, “we are going to make it sure and we will then go to other places”.
On Friday at the Oval Office, Trump said: “I think Chicago will be our next one. And then we will help with New York,” said Trump.
An American defense official told Fox: “We will not speculate on new operations, but can tell you that the ministry is a planning organization and continues to work and plan with other agency partners to protect assets and federal staff.”

Less than 2% of the authorized forces have been mobilized so far, but the coordinated missions of states governors should develop in the coming weeks – including in Virginia, where around 60 soldiers and aviators will start on August 25 to start duty in early September, confirmed the Virginie National Guard.
“VNG staff will not direct the functions of the police, and the support of VNG will not include arresting,” a spokesman for the Virginia National Guard told Fox. “VNG soldiers and aviators will present themselves directly to the management of the ICE to their assigned service locations, but will remain under the control and management of the Governor of Virginia and the General Warrant Officer of Virginia.”
The deployment of national guard troops – a reserve force controlled by the State – will allow the US military to provide a more direct role in supporting the federal immigration application in the midst of the Trump administration, the mass deportations of illegal criminals.

Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, the use of the military for the civil police is limited – but the national guards will mobilize under title 32 Article 502F Authority, to which posse Comitatus does not apply. At the request of the DHS, in July, the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, approved hundreds of additional forces for the support of the DHS-ICE interior application, and changed the existing approvals of title 10 in title 32.
“We understood ICE’s needs at that time to be more administratively … While planning continued, working with our partners, it has become clearer than ice needed something different,” an American defense official told Fox.
The members of the service supporting ice will manage cases, transport, office functions and logistical support – which may include data collection, fingerprints, DNA exchange and photography of ice detention.

“As you can imagine and appreciate it, some of them are starting to get closer to this line of application of the law. It is therefore preferable that these people are in a title status 32 so that we were absolutely in the law of what we do and providing appropriate support,” said the official.
Most deployments remain in the planning and coordination phase with the DHS and the governors, but the documents show operations from Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Nevada during the first week of September.
“Under title 32, the guards are under the command and control of their governors. So, it is to the governors when they bring these forces … like the governors and the states coordinate with the DHS, this calendar will differ by the State,” said the defense manager. Vermont refused to activate its national guards, despite the pentagon authorization to help the mission of applying the interior of the DHS-Ice ice.
Hundreds arrested like Trump in Washington, DC, the repression of the crime strikes full stride
The news comes while nearly 2,000 soldiers from the Washington DC National Guard and Six States were deployed to support the police at Washington DC. Under the direct presidential authority, the members of the guard were assigned to positions of monument, control points and traffic stops in the eight districts, with a mission focused on the deterrent of crime and the maintenance of a security presence in the city.
At the authority of the Hegseth secretary, these members of the National Guard can now carry weapons if necessary for their individual tasks. But DC is different under title 32. For states, it would be to individual governors who act as command and control.
An American defense official said that if the mobilizations in 19 states and the activation of the National Guard of DC were both under the broader directive of President Trump protecting territorial integrity and immigration policies, the missions are distinct and separate.

“The big question is how long do we stay? Because if we stay, we want to make sure that he does not come back. So we have to take care of these criminals and get them out,” Trump told journalists in the oval office on Friday.
The officials equaled the effort at Washington DC to embellish before the 250th celebration of the day of independence of next year. But President Trump suggested that he could ask the DC keeper for a long time, then win the operation in other parts of the country.

“We are not playing games. We are going to be sure, and we will then go to other places,” Trump told a host of national guards and federal police in a DC patrol center this week.
