The U.S. National Guard is deploying 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 support for immigration processing and law enforcement activities, following recent actions in Washington, D.C., where the Guard was also mobilized to combat crime.
