..."On Wednesday, the Chicago Sun Times first reported about the DHS’s request for the naval base, citing an email from commanding officer Capt Stephen Yargosz to his leadership team.

“These operations are similar to what occurred in Los Angeles earlier this summer. Same DHS team,” Yargosz wrote, adding: “This morning I received a call that there is the potential to also support National Guard units. Not many details on this right now. Mainly a lot of concerns and questions.”

According to Yargosz, law enforcement law enforcement officers with the DHS, Ice and CBP will be stationed at the military base from 2 to 30 September.
