Trump Deploys Thousands of Troops to US-Mexico Border | JQJO

The Pentagon has deployed thousands of active-duty troops, armored vehicles, and air and naval assets to the US-Mexico border under President Trump's administration. This marks a significant increase from the approximately 2,500 troops present at the end of the Biden administration. The heightened military presence aims to curb illegal crossings, which have decreased significantly since the Trump administration's declaration of seeking '100 percent' operational control of the border. Recent visits show a calmer border situation, with significantly fewer illegal crossings compared to the previous year.
