The U.S. military has confirmed a contentious move: 200 Marines are being deployed to Florida to provide logistical and administrative support to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
This deployment is part of a larger initiative to bolster ICE operations in high-pressure states like Texas and Louisiana.
Notably, these Marines won’t be involved in enforcement actions — their roles are limited to non-combat, support functions within ICE detention centers.
Still, the presence of uniformed military personnel working alongside ICE agents has sparked public backlash and concern.
