  The New York Times reports that DHS has requested more than 20,000 National Guard members to help with the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts. It is unclear what role the National Guard members would play and whether the states would need to approve the plan. The request is currently under review by the Defense Department. If approved, it would be the first time that National Guard troops were used to enforce an immigration crackdown in the United States.
