The Trump administration has ordered the mobilization of roughly 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states to reinforce Department of Homeland Security operations targeting illegal immigration and federal crime, according to planning documents obtained by Fox News. The documents describe the Guardsmen as a “support pillar” for federal agents in mass-deportation efforts and coordinated crime-fighting initiatives. The activation window runs from late August through November and lists anticipated deployments in Alabama, Arkansas and Florida among the 19 states slated to receive personnel. The large-scale call-up expands the administration’s use of military resources in domestic law-enforcement support and signals an accelerated push to tighten immigration enforcement and curb federal crime ahead of the autumn period.
