In a significant military mobilization, the Pentagon has ordered the deployment of up to 3,000 additional active-duty troops and Stryker Brigade Combat Team vehicles to the U.S.-Mexico border. This action aligns with directives from the Trump administration aimed at reinforcing border security amidst rising concerns. Over 1,000 troops are already in place as efforts intensify, with top military officials, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, heading to the border to assess the situation and enhance cooperation with agencies like ICE and Border Patrol. The increased military presence comes as crossing numbers show a decline, leading to heightened patrols in quieter border towns.
