Kemp Deploys 75 Georgia Guard To Back ICE, Freeing Agents For Deportation Enforcement

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp will send about 75 Georgia National Guard troops to provide administrative and logistical support for ICE statewide—tasks like scheduling, biometric collection, data entry, and vehicle maintenance—so ICE officers can focus on enforcement. Kemp framed it as a continuation of Georgia’s crackdown on illegal immigration; Democrats called it unconstitutional and outside the Guard’s core mission. Training is set for mid-September with deployments shortly after. The move aligns with a broader multi-state pattern of Guard support for ICE under Title 32 this summer.
