National Guard Deploys 1,700 Troops Across 19 States for Immigration and Crime Crackdown

The U.S. National Guard will deploy 1,700 troops across 19 states to assist the Department of Homeland Security in efforts to curb illegal immigration and related crime, with Texas expected to have the largest presence. The deployment includes processing migrants and supporting ICE operations, following recent efforts in Washington, D.C., where the Guard was also mobilized to combat crime and restore order. President Trump has indicated plans to extend these efforts to Illinois and New York.
