US Marines will be deployed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Florida

Source: Scripps News

Posted 8:45 PM, Jul 03, 2025


About 200 U.S. Marines are deploying to assist with Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Florida, U.S. Northern Command said Thursday.

The Marines would deploy from Marine Corps Air Station New River in North Carolina to assist with "critical administrative and logistical capabilities at locations as directed by ICE."

The soldiers would not perform law-enforcement tasks, NORTHCOM said, and would be "specifically prohibited from direct contact with individuals in ICE custody or involvement in any aspect of the custody chain."

It was not clear if the deployment had any association with a new immigration detention center built in the Everglades, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," that began operation this week.

Meanwhile, western NC is STILL recovering from the effects of TS Helene and whatever funding is being wasted on Marines in the state for implementing ethnic cleansing, should instead go to these areas of the state that experienced a once-in-a-lifetime disaster.

part of the lyrics " Who can train guerrillas by the dozens? Send them out to kill their untrained cousins?"
and what did the mega traitors think when they heard the words "mass deportations", our country is so sick in so many ways.

Throw in a couple of hurricanes and floods, and we'll be too beaten down to show up and protest.

They won't do any law enforcement FOR NOW. It won't be long before the Marines are morphed into the roundup and deportation game, and spread out from there.
