A press release from the governor’s office states that, starting on October 1, the Guard will help with administrative, clerical, and logistical duties at ICE processing facilities in the state. ICE has contracts with county jails in Phelps, Ste.
Genevieve, and Greene counties. “Public safety, keeping Missourians safe, and upholding the rule of law is our administration's top priority,” said Kehoe, in the release. “The Missouri National Guard is uniquely equipped to provide this essential administrative support, and we are confident their contributions will be invaluable to immigration enforcement efforts. Missouri is proud to join in the Trump administration's efforts to keep our state and nation secure.” Gov. Mike Kehoe is weighing a request from the Trump administration to deploy the state’s National Guard to support federal immigration enforcement in Missouri.
If the request is approved, Guard members would help handle administrative and logistical tasks for Immigration and Customs Enforcement — not make arrests — according to Kehoe’s spokesperson Gabby Picard. A spokesperson for the Department of Defense said assistance could include case management, transportation and clerical support for the in and out processing of detainees without legal status. The Missouri National Guard did not respond to a question on how many troops were requested by the administration. The request follows a July 25 order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that brought members of military under the command of governors and authorized them to support immigration enforcement. That adjustment added 500 troops to help the immigration agency, bringing total Defense support to about 1,700 service members.
