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.
