National Guard

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe mobilized Guard members to assist ICE with "data entry, case management, and logistical support." Military experts say they also worry how these new deployments will affect recruitment and public trust.

The move comes amid President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement practices garnering increasing criticism. Kehoe said that Missouri National Guard troops will help with "administrative, clerical and logistical duties."

While announcing the National Guard would go to Memphis next, President Trump said the head of Union Pacific also asked him to do the same in St. Louis. "He said, 'Sir please, do me a favor. St. Louis has been so badly hit. It's very hard. Very very hard.'"

Missouri and Massachusetts are the only states whose National Guards fall under another state department agency instead of answering directly to the governor.

There will be nine National Guard teams deployed throughout the state and each team can vaccinate up to 2,500 people per day depending on supply.
