In the coming weeks, the Pentagon will send approximately 3,000 more active-duty soldiers to the US-Mexico Border to support President Trump’s continued crackdown on illegal border crossings.

Pentagon: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered a Stryker brigade and a general-support aviation battalion along with a Stryker combat team to the border in order to “protect the territory integrity of the United States” as announced by the Pentagon on Saturday. The brigade, a U.S. Army Infantry unit that uses Stryker armoured vehicles to fight in cities, is made up of a Stryker brigade combat team and gsaviation battalion.

New troops will arrive along the Mexican border in the next few weeks. They will continue to reduce illegal crossings which have dropped since President Trump assumed office.

Trump announced on Saturday, in his Truth Social, that “the invasion of our country is over.” Anyone who attempts to enter the U.S.A. illegally will be subjected to significant criminal penalties, and they will be deported immediately.

1776 Coalition Sponsored Don’t let Senate Republicans kill the Trump Agenda Why do Senate Republicans make the rest of the GOP worry every time Congress has a fight over major legislation? They rarely seem to remember that they were elected to protect individual rights, cut spending and limit government overreach. Fortunately, we have our Top Defenders of Liberty leading the way, like: Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Ron Johnson. Unfortunately, there’s still many others in the U.S. Senate who earned a low score in our Liberty Index, and they need to hear from you. Will you join our efforts to ensure the U.S. Senate passes Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” without compromises or interference from Senate RINOS?

According to US Customs and Border Protection, the number of people arrested at the southern US Border in February was the lowest ever recorded. The figure is 8,326, which is the lowest total for any month.

This is a significant drop from just one month ago when 61 465 migrants were arrested at the border. It’s also a 95% decrease from last February when 189 913 migrants were captured.

“The message is clear: don’t come illegally to our country. We will arrest and return you if you come illegally, wrote Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, on Saturday.

There are currently 9,200 U.S. soldiers stationed along the southern border. Of these, 4,000 have been deployed on federal orders and 5,000 National Guard troops have been sent by governors.

Trump relies on the military in order to keep his campaign promise of closing the border, and returning all illegal migrants to their countries.

Since the 1990s, military personnel has been deployed to the border to combat transnational crimes and drug trafficking.
