As many as 1,700 members of the National Guard will reportedly be activated to 19 states to assist ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.

It continues Donald Trump's use of federal law enforcement to stop crime and illegal immigration after he sent the Guard to Washington, DC earlier this week.

The troops will be mobilized from August until at least mid-November in the crucial border state of Texas which will have the most significant presence, Fox News reported.
Other states where activations are reportedly being planned are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming.

Troops will be used to support ICE with case management, transportation, logistical support, and clerical functions.

They will also be used to deter people from committing crimes, a Pentagon official told Fox.

'The in-and-out processing may include personal data collection, fingerprinting, DNA swabbing and photographing of personnel in ICE custody,' the official said.

The official wouldn't speculate on the National Guard being brought in to Chicago or New York, as President Trump has suggested, but that they're preparing for the possibility.

'We won't speculate on further operations, but can tell you that the department is a planning organization and continues to work and plan with other agency partners to protect federal assets and personnel.'

Further, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized the troops deployed to DC to carry weapons and carry out law enforcement duties, ABC News reported.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Pentagon and ICE for further comment.
