National Guard border deployment

The National Guard deployment at the border involves armed personnel from the state-level military reserve assisting federal agencies in managing immigration and security efforts. Their role may include surveillance, support for customs and border protection, and logistical help to enhance border security. This deployment is often meant to supplement federal efforts, address increased migration, or respond to specific security concerns. It does not typically include law enforcement powers, and the primary goal is to support and supplement, not replace, federal agencies’ border operations.
