said,"In preparation for the return to Title 8 immigration enforcement, the State Department and Department of Homeland Security are implementing sweeping measures with our regional partners to reduce irregular migration, ensure safe, orderly and efficient processing, and promptly remove individuals without a legal basis to remain in the United States."
"DoD [Department of Defense] personnel will be performing non-law enforcement duties such as ground based detection and monitoring, data entry, and warehouse support. DoD personnel have never, and will not, perform law enforcement activities or interact with migrants or other individuals in DHS custody," the statement added.
In a new statement, DHS reiterates that military "personnel have never, and will not, perform law enforcement activities or interact with migrants." "DoD personnel will be performing ... ground based detection and monitoring, data entry, and warehouse support."
