700 troops have been mobilized to help ICE in raids in Florida, Louisiana and Texas

The Defense Department has mobilized 700 troops to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Florida, Louisiana and Texas.

These troops will “not participate in law enforcement activities” but will “provide logistical support, and conduct administrative and clerical functions,” according to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell. The troops were deployed last week, Parnell said.

The three states have seen several large-scale ICE raids since Trump took office in January and implemented his hardline anti-immigration agenda, promising to carry out the “largest deportation operation in American history.”

- If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.

  Edit: the upvote/downvote ratio on a comment like this shows how rapidly Lemmy is turning into Reddit. Nobody cares about the data, if you remotely sound like defending the GOP down the chute you go.
  It’s your loss America. I’ll sleep fine as long as we don’t have electronic voting systems here.
  
  You don’t have to read all those documents. You can just go read project 2025 mandate. Its only 900+ pages
  
  That YouTube clip, hell he all but admits that he rigged the election.
  
  It's interesting that you post a message like that when yours is the majority position on Lemmy and comes up regularly. Any time I post conflicting data on the election, I'm down voted at about a 40/60 ratio up/down. Meanwhile politically I'm somewhere between Lenin and Bernie.
  
  Are you whining? Down vote.
- Yeah, geez, it’s wild what happens when everyone just decides to allow it
Remember when we had the Posse Comitatus Act? The law that makes doing this unambiguously illegal?
Yeah, that guy kitted out in body armour carrying a massive cockrifle is just a secretary, bro. Helping with the paperwork, brah.
So they want to kill all the cheap labor based businesses in core red States? Congratulations. Smart decision. This will definitely boost the next election results.
- Aww that’s cute that you think there’s going to be a next election. And if there is, I guarantee they’ve already gerrymandered and election machine tampered it into the result they want.
  They. Do. Not. Care. About. A. Next. Election.
- They don't plan on having a "next" election. And those businesses will have their workers clearly supplied to them on contract from the federal labor camps they're already working to build.
  
  That is a big possibility, yes. They did the same here 80 years ago, and you know where that ended.
Where those 2nd amendment rights Americans so viciously protect?
Oh right it was just for show. A country full of cowards. All those history books and films, starting to think it was exaggerated. Ain't no way Americans are brave.
- Don’t be surprised. But those 2A people…all racists. They are the fucking nazis that support the actions of the temu tyranny we are living under. They are okay with the talking Cheeto puff taking control of the NG and deploying troops, including active duty, cause it hurts brown people. They will just lay in their beds, having sexual fantasies of musk and trump while whispering no homo, and ignore all of this. Even when they have no rights left and Trump has fully take over the government. They are okay with all of this.
I'm really wondering what the real reason is behind the anti-immigrant actions. Sure, racism is part of it, but there has to be a money aspect for somebody because of all the extra business.
This is generating a ton of jobs in louisiana, which is basically the last slave state as-is with how their prisons are run anyway.
- Labor discipline. By terrifying migrant workers it allows employers to treat them even worse and pay them even less.
  
  I have assumed they want downward pressure on labor costs but by removing labor you just raise the cost of it. Supply vs demand... cut off the supply and the demand peaks.
  Raise the labor cost on manufacturing, food, landscaping, etc and you just raise prices for everybody, more runaway inflation happens and the US competes even less with the rest of the world.
  Just doesn't add up to me. Maybe for billionaires the math works out in their favor though.
- The private prison executives had a leaked meeting where they celebrate Trump's victory.
  Fun fact, the USA still practices slavery by making prisoners exempt from the 13th Amendment which in all other cases abolished slavery. A lot of industry is constructed by convicts for cheap cheap.
and we will spit in the food of every one of them if we get the chance to.
Thank goodness—soon all us purportedly white people will be totally safe from the scourge of all the darker-skinned people cleaning our homes, our yards & hotel rooms…/s
