Alaska National Guard Supports ICE: ACLU Concerns

Alaskas Governor Mike Dunleavy has approved a request from the U.S. Defense Department for Alaska National Guard members to assist the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Anchorage. Five service members will provide administrative support for up to a year, handling tasks like vehicle management, safety compliance, office support, and data entry. This move aligns with a broader trend of increased immigration enforcement actions by the Trump administration. However, the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska expresses concern that this request for support suggests ICE intends to conduct more detentions and field operations in Alaska, potentially heightening fear among both undocumented individuals and legal residents.
