The Trump administration is sending 200 Marines to Florida to provide support for ICE deportation raids across the Sunshine State, military officials announced Thursday.
The mobilization of Marines was revealed by US Northern Command and came in response to a May request for military assistance from the Department of Homeland Security.
The Marines will aid the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “interior immigration enforcement mission,” according to a statement from US Northern Command.
Other deployments are expected in Louisiana and Texas, officials revealed.
The Marines will be “prohibited from direct contact with individuals in ICE custody or involved in any aspect of the custody chain,” US Northern Command said.
