The Department of Defense has deployed 700 troops to assist ICE Barbie Kristi Noem at detention facilities in three Sun Belt states.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office confirmed the marching orders in a Tuesday press release, revealing soldiers were sent to Florida, Texas, and Louisiana last week.

The Pentagon said the troops are “operating in a Title 10 duty status,” meaning they will not be permitted to make arrests. Instead, the military says they will “provide logistical support” and assist with “administrative and clerical functions.”

“They will not directly participate in law enforcement activities,” the Pentagon added.

Those deployed were described only as “military personnel” who were “drawn from all components.” A Department of Defense official told the Daily Beast that it could not yet say which branch, or branches, the activated troops belonged to.
