The Trump administration has approved the deployment of an additional 1,115 service members to the US-Mexico border, bringing the total troop presence to nearly 10,000. This deployment is part of a broader effort to strengthen border security as illegal crossings have significantly decreased under Trump’s policies. The incoming troops will support logistics, engineering, and operational capabilities. Additionally, the House has approved a legislation aimed at increasing border security funding, including substantial investments in wall construction. Trump's approach marks a drastic difference from the previous administration's strategy.
The latest round of deployments will bring the total number of US troops at the border close to 10,000 - far higher than the 2,500 National Guardsmen former President Joe Biden had stationed on the frontier at the end of his term.
Approved elements for deployment include members of the Army's Expeditionary Sustainment Command, to coordinate logistics, and the Quartermaster Field Feeding Company, to ensure troops get enough to eat in the harsh environments.
