“Many worried that President Donald Trump would use the U.S. military for domestic immigration enforcement — blurring the line between national defense and internal policing. They were right. Trump is making the military an active element of federal enforcement. In Texas, members of the National Guard have been federally deputized to investigate, arrest, and transport migrants for civil immigration violations. Many military installations are being prepared to hold tens of thousands of detainees and others, such as the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, have already been repurposed. But even more concerning is what comes next. Public statements and policy signals suggest that the administration is considering deploying the military against states unwilling to participate in its enforcement efforts.” (05/26/25)
