Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered an additional 2,500 to 3,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border as part of President Trump's measures to enhance border security. This troop movement arrives alongside plans to possibly send more forces in the coming weeks and months. These troops are meant to aid in the detention of migrants and support Customs and Border Protection agents. The initiative follows a significant drop in illegal crossings in recent years and follows a national emergency declaration on Trump's first day in office.
