Pentagon to Deploy 1,500 Troops to U.S.-Mexico Border for Security Following Trump's Executive Order
Jan 22, 2025, 05:39 PM
The Pentagon is set to deploy up to 1,500 active-duty troops to assist in securing the U.S.-Mexico border in the coming days, following an executive order by President Donald Trump. This deployment aims to support border patrol agents with logistics, transportation, and the construction of barriers. Acting Defense Secretary Robert Salesses is expected to sign the deployment orders, though it remains unclear which specific troops or units will be involved, and the number could change. The move is part of Trump's broader strategy to crack down on immigration, as outlined in executive orders issued shortly after he took office.
