The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is mobilizing the National Guard to assist in the search and transport of unaccompanied migrant children, as part of a broader immigration enforcement strategy. A recent DHS memo outlines the deployment of National Guard troops in conjunction with increased operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Under the Trump administration, ICE has seen a dramatic surge in arrest rates, topping 100,000, with a record 2,200 immigrants detained in a single day during aggressive sweeps aimed at detaining both documented and undocumented individuals. The administration has set daily quotas for immigration arrests, intensifying the focus on immigration enforcement and operations that have drawn significant public protest and concern over community impacts. This crackdown reflects a major shift in federal law enforcement priorities and practices, drawing on resources such as 20,000 additional troops to support extensive deportation efforts.
