In response to the new report, Representative Garamendi released the below statement:“America’s armed forces exist to defend the nation and support communities in moments of real crisis, not to be used as props in partisan theater. Pulling service members away from their livelihoods and families to fuel an aggressive immigration crackdown undermines their mission,” said Rep. Garamendi. “The report that Senator Warren and I released showed how Trump’s reckless diversion of our military to support immigration enforcement came at a significant cost to our readiness and national security. Dragging the military into their mess only compounds the failure and wastes taxpayer money while draining essential military resources. According to the report, continuing deployments to Washington, D.C., Memphis, New Orleans, and Chicago will cost $93 million per month.
