200 Marines sent to Florida to support ICE, U.S. Northern Command says
Around 200 Marines are heading to Florida to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities, U.S. Northern Command said Thursday, noting that it was the 'first wave' of the organization's planned support for ICE operations in several states.
Service members from Marine Wing Support Squadron 272 will 'focus on administrative and logistical tasks' and are 'specifically prohibited from direct contact with individuals in ICE custody or involvement in any aspect of the custody chain,' the command said in a statement.
