Nearly 1,700 National Guard troops to be deployed to 19 states (list)

Troops being mobilized will likely support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) despite the agency receiving a massive budget increase under Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."

snip

In the case of the planned deployment in the 19 states listed, Trump will invoke Title 32 Section 502F, which "authorizes States to send forces to assist the support of operations or missions undertaken by the member's unit at the request of the President or Secretary of Defense."

These are the 19 states impacted by the activation of the National Guard:
(Activation expected to range from August to mid-November)

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, S Carolina, S Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming.

to go into blue.cities and states.

The one non Trump state, VA has a Republican governor, though there is an election in November where the Democrat is currently significantly ahead. Any idea what those NG might be asked to do ,,, voter suppression.
