Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
  • Verification Source #3: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. military said on Thursday it will send 200 Marines to Florida to provide administrative and logistical…" This supports the claim about the number of Marines and their purpose.
  • Verification Source #4: "US military says 200 Marines being sent to support ICE in Florida." This also supports the claim.
