Pentagon to send 1,500 troops to the southern border

Hildago, TX – President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies are making waves across the United States, with the Pentagon recently announcing the deployment of up to 1,500 troops to bolster security at the southern border. This move coincides with the president’s signing of several executive actions, all aimed at tightening border security and increasing deportations of individuals residing in the country without legal permission.

New footage has emerged illustrating these efforts, showing buses carrying migrants back across the border into Mexico. The scope of the president’s policy extends beyond border regions, also targeting sanctuary cities like Chicago, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids are anticipated. The administration’s policies now permit federal agents to apprehend migrants in locations previously considered off-limits, such as churches and schools.

On the ground in Texas, near the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge, buses filled with Mexican nationals have been observed being deported across the border to Reynosa, Mexico. This development marks the beginning of President Trump’s deportation operations. Mexican immigration officials have disclosed plans to handle the influx of deportees by opening multiple shelters just south of the U.S. border. Each facility is designed to accommodate over 2,000 deportees, offering temporary lodging, food, and medical care.

These shelters will exclusively serve Mexican nationals, and deported individuals will receive financial assistance of approximately 2,000 pesos, equivalent to $100, to aid them in returning to their hometowns. Additionally, the Mexican government is providing discounted bus tickets through the National Institute of Migration to facilitate their journey.

As part of these preparations, Mexico plans to dispatch around 180 buses to border towns to transport deportees further into the country. Reports indicate that Mexican officials in Tijuana have already begun receiving deportees, with more arrivals expected soon.

The reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, initially introduced in 2019, has sparked controversy. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and her cabinet members have voiced their opposition, arguing that the policy endangers asylum seekers by forcing them to remain in Mexican border towns, where they often fall victim to violence and exploitation by criminal organizations.

Critics of the Trump administration have also condemned the shutdown of the CBP One app, which previously allowed migrants to schedule asylum appointments at legal entry points. The administration has not indicated any plans to revive this application, despite Mexico’s expressed disagreement with the latest border initiatives.
