The Trump administration has ordered the deployment of up to 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states to support the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration and federal crimes. The mobilization, effective from August through November 2025, is intended to provide logistical and processing support rather than direct arrest operations. The states involved include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, and Louisiana among others. This deployment represents a rapid response initiative by the administration to bolster federal efforts in immigration enforcement and crime reduction. The White House has clarified that the National Guard deployment is specifically linked to immigration enforcement and not directly to the broader crime crackdown. Pentagon officials have confirmed the mobilization, which is described as a support pillar for federal agents in the ongoing crackdown.
