Original Date Announced
May 9, 2025Section 3 of Presidential Proclamation "Establishing Project Homecoming" directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to "conduct a nationwide communications campaign" to notify undocumented noncitizens that they can get "cost-free travel" and an "exit bonus" if they leave the country and to warn of "the sweeping consequences for those who choose to remain illegally present, including removal, prosecution, incarceration, and fines as consistent with applicable law for immigration-related crimes; the garnishment of wages; and the confiscation of savings and personal property, including homes and vehicles."
Within 60 days of the Proclamation, the Secretaries are directed to "supplement existing enforcement and removal operations by deputizing and contracting with State and local law enforcement officers, former Federal officers, officers and personnel within other Federal agencies, and other individuals" to add an additional 20,000 immigration officers to remove undocumented noncitizens who do not depart voluntarily.

2025.05.15 Reported: D.H.S. Requests 20,000 National Guard Members to Help With Immigration Crackdown - The New York Times
The New York Times reports that DHS has requested 20,000 National Guard members from the Department of Defense to assist the administration's immigration agenda, in response to the directive in Proc. 10935 to increase the number of immigration officers. While National Guard troops have supported immigration authorities in the past, if this request is approved, troops would be directly involved in immigration enforcement for the first time. It is unclear exactly what role troops will play or if states will have to approve the plan.
