The Alaska National Guard said five service members will assist with “administrative and logistical” duties at the Anchorage ICE office for up to a year.

#akleg There is an Alaska connection to Adam Crum's sketchy $50m investment. DigitalBridge owns a controlling stake in Vertical Bridge which bought out 275 of GCI's wireless towers.
I'm not sure if this acts as a funnel towards a specific project or person but I hope the legislature can find out.
