Indiana National Guard Awaits Federal Orders Amid Deportation Controversy

This report highlights President-elect Donald Trump’s comments on potential mass deportations, focusing on individuals in the U.S. illegally who have committed crimes.

Trump has suggested using the National Guard and local law enforcement to execute these actions, sparking discussions about federal and state-level roles in such operations.

Adj. Gen. Dale Lyles of the Indiana National Guard confirmed the Guard’s readiness to comply with federal orders if called upon, acknowledging the Guard’s dual responsibilities to both the state governor and the federal government.

Speaking from Kuwait, where he accompanied Governor Eric Holcomb on an economic development trip, Lyles noted that the Guard would await directives on how such missions would unfold.

This comes as Lyles prepares to step down from his leadership role, potentially leaving these matters to his successor.

The discussion underscores the complexities of implementing such federal initiatives and their implications for state-level operations.
