BREAKING: 200 Marines Deployed to Florida to Assist ICE Deportations
BREAKING: Marine deployed to Florida...
In a sharp escalation of federal immigration enforcement, 200 active-duty U.S. Marines have been deployed to Florida to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, according to Reuters.
The Marines will not participate directly in arrests or removals but are assigned to administrative and logistical support roles inside ICE detention centers. U.S. Northern Command emphasized that troops are under strict orders to avoid direct contact with detainees, limiting their involvement to support functions.

This deployment is part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to intensify enforcement ahead of the July 4th holiday. Up to 700 Department of Defense personnel are expected to assist ICE operations across Florida, Texas, and Louisiana.
"Service members participating in this mission will perform strictly non-law enforcement duties within ICE facilities," USNORTHCOM said in a statement.
Earlier this year, 700 Marines were sent to Los Angeles (they are still stationed in LA) to assist with similar raids, marking one of the largest domestic military deployments for immigration enforcement in decades. The move has raised fresh concerns about the blurred line between military and civilian roles in law enforcement, with critics citing potential violations of the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits federal troops from performing domestic policing duties.
Even indirect military support may further militarize ICE operations and intimidate immigrant communities.
We’ll continue tracking developments as more deployments roll out.

Those Marines need to remember who pays them and it’s not fucking Trump!!!
When Trump became president I urged Americans to protest by removing their money from banks and anything secured by the FDIC. I urged you to boycott Amazon, Walmart, Tesla, Airbnb, and any company that has donated to that asshole in the Whitehouse! The comments that I received were “my check is auto deposited”…”money orders are a hassle”….”but Walmart has cheaper groceries”…”I can’t shutdown my Airbnb, that’s my business”…
Well guess what! I took my money out of banks, I stopped using Amazon, I don’t shop at Walmart, I stopped going to Starbucks, and I shut down my Airbnb business. My life did not stop. In fact, my vacation rental business continued to thrive through VRBO and Apartments.com. I shop locally for things I need, which puts money back into our community and not into the hands of billionaires.
I use coupons and shop at my local grocery store. I don’t need Walmart for anything.
Just keep conforming to the GOP and billionaires who support them while they take away your rights, take away your healthcare, hospitals and more. Protest is inconvenient and uncomfortable, but you MUST send the message that as long as the GOP continues to strip this country of its entitlements (things we have paid into) then we will crash this fucking economy!
Do not vacation in any state that supports Trump! I was married in New Orleans and we canceled our vacation to celebrate our anniversary because that state is accepting students in their prison for exercising their constitutional right to free speech. So fuck them! They will not get a penny of my vacation money.
It is unconscionable that everyone on here who expresses outrage toward Trump, still has their prime membership, still has their money in banks, still shops at Walmart or Target, still runs their vacation rentals through Airbnb, and are not willing to be uncomfortable. A run on the banks alone will send this country into a tailspin! You think that billionaires can carry the banking establishments alone? No! Banks make most of their money off of the fees from the average American who cannot keep their minimums month to month!
Just try to close your account and watch them squirm. Tell them why! Because you are protesting the Trump regime, you are protesting the demise of our constitution and constitutional law, you are protesting the illegal kidnappings of immigrants in this country, you are protesting Trump’s Alligator Auschwitz, you are protesting the Supreme Court and you want to collapse the banking industry! Tell everyone you disengage from that you are protesting all of these things!
You must stop - stop conforming for comfort! Live your conviction or STFU with your armchair protests. I am sick to death of watching people being torn from their homes. I am sick to death of our media cow-towing to Trump and paying him off. I am sick to death of Trumps hypocrisy - using the presidency as his own personal QVC to sell his made in China wares to the idiot cult followers in this country! I am sick to death of Trumps meme coin scams trading favors if people buy his fucking Monopoly money! I am sick to death of Miller, Johnson, Vance, Voght, and the rest of the traitors who have perpetuated the fall of America! Dont get me started on the women! Bondi, Noem (sick bitch), Gabbard, Mace, Boebert…and that robot dipshit Leavitt. These are women against women and every woman in this country should spew their hatred at them every chance they get.
You don’t see ICE in Arizona or Nevada, or Texas, hell no! Do you think Steve Wynn would tolerate Trump ripping housekeepers, janitors, cooks, and valets out of his casinos? He would be on the phone with Trump in a second and Trump knows it. You don’t see ICE going on private property of the most wealthy in Montecito, or Maine, or Nevada to ask about the legitimacy of the people working for them. They go to churches, immigration offices, Home Depot…those fucking cowards go where they know Trump won’t get a call bitching him out!!!
I am livid! You should be too! Now get off your asses and do something about it. Live your conviction.
