Trump sends 1,500 troops to the border to stop immigration

The president’s government Donald Trump is sending 1,500 soldiers to the southern borderas part of his immigration plan and security in the region.

“This is something that President Trump advocated for in his campaign. “The American people have been waiting for a moment like this, for our Department of Defense to really take national security seriously,” said press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

The Pentagon will soon begin the deployment of troopsas part of the national emergency at the border, according to the executive order signed by Trump on Monday.

These active-duty forces join about 2,500 National Guard troops already operating on the border.

The action is part of the executive order “Securing Our Borders,” which orders the Department of Defense to coordinate efforts with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security will take all appropriate and lawful measures to deploy sufficient personnel along the southern border of the United States to ensure complete operational control,” the order says.

There are other parts of Trump’s decision that have not been implemented, but could be detailed later or with the deployment of troops.

“(All appropriate measures will be taken to deploy and construct temporary and permanent physical barriers to ensure complete operational control of the southern border of the United States,” says the document signed at the White House.

Trump has signed several executive orders related to immigration, from which actions by DHS and its agencies have been derived, such as the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office, which announced operations even in ‘sensitive areas’, as well as processes of accelerated deportation.

A CBS News report indicates that the Trump Administration seeks to have up to 10,000 military personnel guarding the border.
