The Latest: The Pentagon will send 1,500 troops to secure US-Mexico border, officials say

The Pentagon has announced plans to deploy 1,500 active-duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to assist with security operations in anticipation of increased migrant activity following the end of Title 42, a policy that allowed for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border. This deployment, set to begin on May 10, 2023, will see the troops providing support for 90 days, focusing on tasks like monitoring, data entry, and warehouse support, but they will not engage in law enforcement activities.

Additionally, the Biden administration has been preparing for this change by implementing new policies to manage the expected surge in migrant arrivals.
