In a decisive move under the Trump administration, the Pentagon has announced the deployment of an additional 3,000 troops, along with armored Stryker vehicles, to the U.
S.-Mexico border.
This strategic expansion aims to "seal the border and protect the territorial integrity of the United States," according to officials. The bolstered presence will elevate the number of service members at the border to over 9,000, collaborating with federal and state law enforcement agencies already in place.
As reported by Breitbart, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been instrumental in this initiative, emphasizing the administration's commitment to border security. He declared on social media, "We are dead serious about 100% OPERATIONAL CONTROL of the southern border."
The Pentagon's statement further detailed that the reinforcements include a Stryker Brigade Combat Team and a General Support Aviation Battalion, underscoring the seriousness of the operation.
Since the onset of President Donald Trump's tenure, there has been a consistent deployment of active-duty soldiers and Marines to the southern border, justified by a declared "National Emergency." According to government data, the stringent measures and policies enacted by the Trump administration have been linked to a notable decrease in migrant apprehensions.
