The Pentagon announced it will send an additional 1,500 active-duty troops to the southwestern border to aid in immigration enforcement, fulfilling a key objective of President Trump. This follows the deployment of 2,500 Army Reserve and National Guard soldiers who are providing support in various roles, such as monitoring and logistics. Trump’s recent executive order emphasizes military involvement in border security, despite potential legal conflicts with the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts military action in domestic policing. This heightened military presence contrasts with the current decrease in migrant crossings following previous administrative policies.
The Pentagon's decision to deploy 1,500 active-duty troops to the southwestern border is part of President Trump's broader strategy to reduce migration into the U.S.
This deployment will bolster the existing 2,500 Army Reserve and National Guard personnel already engaged in border operations, supporting law enforcement tasks.
