Pentagon to Deploy 1,500 Troops to US-Mexico Border


The Pentagon has announced plans to deploy up to 1,500 active-duty troops to the US-Mexico border in the coming days. This move follows executive orders signed by President Donald Trump aimed at enhancing border security. Acting Defense Secretary Robert Salesses is expected to sign the deployment orders soon.

The troops will join approximately 2,500 National Guard and Reserve forces already stationed at the border. Their primary roles will include logistics, transportation, and construction of barriers to support border patrol agents.

This deployment is part of a broader strategy to "seal the borders" and address illegal immigration. The move has been met with mixed reactions, with supporters applauding the increased security measures and critics raising concerns about the implications of using military forces in this capacity.
