The Department of Justice is asking for 20,000 National Guard soldiers for their crackdown on immigration. Also, a judge dismissed charges against 98 migrants caught in the military zone at the southern border.

The request, which is under review by the Pentagon, is part of a renewed push by the Trump administration to ramp up arrests of undocumented migrants

The Department of Homeland Security asked the Pentagon for the troops to secure the border, two U.S. defense officials said, a potential escalation of the Trump administration’s use of the military in its immigration crackdown.
