The Pentagon is preparing to deploy up to 1,500 additional active-duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in the coming days, following President Donald Trump's recent executive orders to increase military presence along the southern border. The deployment will bolster the approximately 2,500 active-duty personnel already stationed there, bringing the total to about 4,000 troops. Officials say the additional forces will assist Customs and Border Protection in securing the border.
