Under President Trump's executive action declaring a national emergency at the southern border, 1,500 active-duty troops have been deployed to bolster immigration control. This move, confirmed by the White House, is an extension of Trump's campaign promises addressing border security. The deployment includes 500 Marines, though they will not engage in law enforcement. This strategic reinforcement intends to support the Department of Homeland Security in maintaining operational control at the border, alongside existing National Guard and Customs personnel already stationed there.
The White House confirmed the troop movement on Wednesday, though the full details of the order have yet to be released.
The troop deployment was widely expected, as immigration had been a hallmark of Trump's campaign for a second term.
This invasion has caused widespread chaos and suffering in our country over the last 4 years.
An estimated 2,500 US National Guard members and reserve troops are already at the border.
