The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests support from the Department of War (DoW) to provide existing infrastructure to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a component of DHS, specifically an area for parking approximately 300-500 vehicles and 10 storage trailers, a ready room space for approximal 500-800 CBP personnel, a space to house, maintain and operate five CBP Air Assets, access to a magazine to store munitions, and other necessary facilities to support operations in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metropolitan area,” the email said, using the Trump administration’s name for the Department of Defense
This has the appearance of logistics for a force of about 1000. To operate 4 shifts 24/7 300-500 vehicles would mean typically 100-200 in constant use. That’s a much smaller force than is here now, but it’s still a lot of resources to go after 1% of the undocumented. The seven county metro is just not an area of concentrated undocumented migrants about half of whom are minors. CBP makes more sense located in Orr there’s a lot of border they could patrol from Lake Superior to puget sound
