Arkansas is deploying the National Guard for border control related to immigration.
In a recent development, the state of Arkansas has mobilized its National Guard to provide administrative and logistical support to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in their operations. This move is part of the broader immigration policies of the US government and is a subject of ongoing debates in the country.
The announcement was made by Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who revealed that around 40 National Guard members are expected to help with the operations. The capital, Little Rock, is one of the locations where the National Guard will be deployed.
The focus of these operations is on violent undocumented immigrants residing in the US. The National Guard's role does not involve direct enforcement actions, but they will perform tasks such as the transport of detainees.
The US Department of Homeland Security has requested assistance from the National Guard, and the Arkansas National Guard is working closely with Brig. Gen. Chad Bridges, the state adjutant general and Homeland Security and Customs official liaison.
The specific tactics or actions to be used by the National Guard and ICE in these operations are not detailed in the article. However, the operations are part of a selective approach to immigration enforcement, focusing on violent individuals.
This mobilization of the National Guard for immigration control is a new development in the US. It comes amidst the ongoing debates over the use of the National Guard in cities by President Donald Trump's administration.
The operations are part of the broader immigration policies of the US government, which continue to evolve and spark controversy. As always, it is crucial to stay informed about these developments to understand their potential impact on our communities.
