ICE to be deployed outside Marine Corps graduation to screen families of troops: report [View all]

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are set to be deployed to Marine Corps graduation ceremonies in South Carolina — to screen for any undocumented people who might be turning out to celebrate their family members serving their country.

According to NBC News, "As the U.S. continues the war in Iran, the Marine Corps has boosted protection measures on bases, requiring everyone to present REAL IDs, U.S. passports or U.S. birth certificates to access any sites. Undocumented immigrants are generally ineligible for federal REAL IDs and don’t have U.S. passports or birth certificates."

As a result of this policy, "people without identifying documents who arrive at the gate of Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island in Beaufort, South Carolina, for recruit family days and graduation events this week may now have to answer to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, the Marine Corps said."
