The Iowa National Guard is ready to "step up and help" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with logistics and processing at detention facilities, but no agreement has been finalized, Gov. Kim Reynolds said. Reynolds, a Republican, told reporters in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday, Aug. 6, that she and other governors were on a call with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who asked for help from states as the federal government works to detain and deport immigrants who came to the country illegally. Nationally, about 1,700 troops are being used to help ICE with clerical tasks at detention facilities, Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a July 25 news release. That includes "case management, transportation and logistical support, and clerical support" for processing people detained by ICE in and out of facilities.
