Since President Donald Trump returned to office, his administration has focused on deporting migrants who are in the United States illegally. The deployment of National Guard troops will allow the military to play a greater role in the president's agenda of 1 million deportations a year.

Nearly 1,700 National Guard troops will mobilize across 19 states to assist DHS and ICE with immigration enforcement, Pentagon officials confirmed to Fox News.

The Georgia National Guard will deploy about 75 soldiers and airmen to help support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across the state, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Monday.
