According to the Marine Corps, says NBC News, ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events at Parris Island to snatch any illegal alien relatives of the newly minted Marines.

Sen. Ruben Gallego is up in arms, replying to a post from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, the completely unbiased senior fellow at the American Immigration Council.
Stephen Miller is so desperate to hit his quota he can’t even let Marines see their families what may be the last time before deployment to a war zone. https://t.co/3NCZs2wn6S

Shut up.
Fake news.

Complete bullshit, we don’t station ICE at military base entrances and you can’t even get inside a base as an illegal, this could be the dumbest headline today and it’s not even noon yet.

Courtney Kube and Julia Ainsley report for NBC News:
ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps.
As the U.S. continues the war in Iran, the Marine Corps has boosted protection measures on bases, requiring everyone to present REAL IDs, U.S. passports or U.S. birth certificates to access any sites.
…
While sometimes family members don’t have proper documentation, it wasn’t clear why ICE had decided to station at Parris Island.
A DHS spokesperson said any suggestion that ICE would make arrests was false. "ICE will not be making arrests at the basic training graduation in Paris Island, SC,” the spokesperson said.
The Department of Homeland Security said, not true.
FAKE NEWS.

This is blatant fake news.

Nice try, NBC.
I keep wondering how low the media can go. NBC keeps surprising me. God help you when enough people wake up to what you’re doing. Meanwhile, I’ll take things that never happened for 200, please.

JFC, you "so called journalists" are deceitful or just plain stupid.

This sounds like total bullshit that NBC will run as if true then never retract when proven wrong.

@grok correct me if I’m wrong, but everyone coming onto a military installation has to show a valid ID in order to enter. I already know the answer because I am a veteran, but please tell the crowd.

Yes, federal agents will be screening who is allowed onto a military base. That's not news.
Why don't you all get a job that doesn't care if you're full of bullshit?
— Christine Casciani (@AlwaysC9999) March 31, 2026
It's fake news, a liberal think tank spread it and amplified it, and a senator fell for it. We pity whoever at the DHS and ICE accounts has to monitor the news and post corrections all day, every day.
