The US military has announced the deployment of 200 Marines to Florida to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in its immigration enforcement efforts. This deployment, which has raised concerns among experts and veterans regarding the militarization of immigration policies, is part of a broader strategy to enhance ICE operations. The Marines, predominantly from Marine Corps Air Station New River, will play a logistical role in supporting ICE as the agency ramps up its activities in the region. Critics have labeled the move as dangerous and an overreach of authority, especially in light of the ongoing controversy surrounding deportation powers.
