The Department of Homeland Security requests that U.S. troops build 'temporary facilities' at 6 locations to house up to 7,500 detained migrant adults, according to the Department of Defense, further expanding the military's role on the southern border.
The Department of Homeland Security has requested that U.S. troops build"temporary facilities" at six locations to house up to 7,500 detained migrant adults, according to the Department of Defense, further expanding the military's role on the southern border.
"DOD will not provide detention or custodial support for detained aliens at these ICE detention facilities," he said."ICE is responsible for detention or custodial support." The request comes after the Pentagon shifted an additional $1.5 billion to a counter-drug account that will be used to construct about 80 miles of border wall. Just over $600 million of that money came from accounts that originally supported Afghan Security Forces. Meanwhile, the Pentagon maintains the reprogramming of funds -- which now totals $2.5 billion -- will not affect military readiness.
"What we want is for DHS to be effective and stand alone," Shanahan said, according to the Associated Press.
