(@GuntherEagleman) Things are moving very quickly at the border as President Trump delivers on his campaign promise to get it secured — stat!
ABC News reported on the latest developments:
U.S. military aircraft carried out two deportation flights to Guatemala on Thursday evening at about the same time that the first ground troops arrived at the southern border as part of the Trump administration’s use of military troops to help Customs and Border Protection personnel.
Both the White House and the Pentagon are both prioritizing news about the border mission, with the Pentagon allowing only social media posts about the mission over the next 10 days while it carries out a worldwide refocus of its social media mission.
The first of 1,500 Marine and Army personnel also began arriving on the border on Thursday evening, with Marines near San Diego arriving at the border wall with Mexico to lay down additional concertina wire and prepare for the arrival of more troops.
That same evening, two U.S. Air Force C-17 aircraft took off from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, and Biggs Army Airfield in El Paso, Texas, carrying approximately 80 deportees back to their home country of Guatemala.
Stars and Stripes added:
Military police and Army engineers from seven states will join Marine Corps engineers from California already en route for a deployment to the U.S. border with Mexico ordered Monday by President Donald Trump.
In total, 1,500 active-duty troops will join about 2,500 National Guard members and helicopter crews already working at the southwest border in support of Customs and Border Protection. The forces will install physical barriers along the border and conduct detection and monitoring missions, according to U.S. Northern Command, which is leading the mission.
The first wave of active-duty troops was expected to be at locations along the border by the end of the week.
NORTHCOM would not say exactly where the troops would deploy.
“U.S. Northern Command is aggressively bolstering security at the southern border,” said Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot, NORTHCOM’s commander. “In a matter of days, we will have nearly doubled the number of forces along the border, effectively implementing the president’s intent while planning and posturing for expanded efforts to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States.”
There is discussion among defense officials and the White House that the number of troops deployed could reach 10,000, said a senior defense official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The executive order that Trump signed Monday called for whatever number of troops that defense officials deemed necessary.
