The Pentagon has announced the deployment of 1,500 active-duty troops to the US-Mexico border as part of an immigration crackdown ordered by President Trump. This move comes as the Trump administration intensifies efforts to control border crossings and enforce new immigration policies. The deployment is seen as an initial wave, with plans for additional troops potentially increasing the military presence at the border to support Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations. The recent executive orders highlight a national emergency declaration and aim to deter illegal crossings while supporting deportation efforts.
