Sun Mar 02 02:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Thousands More Troops Deployed to Southern Border, Reducing Illegal Crossings
**FORT BRAGG, NC** – The Pentagon has announced the deployment of an additional 3,000 troops to the US-Mexico border, bringing the total military presence to approximately 6,000. Soldiers from Fort Bragg, Fort Campbell (KY), and Fort Carson (CO) will bolster efforts by the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection. This deployment, ordered by the Pentagon, supports a key Trump Administration initiative to curb illegal immigration. Early indications suggest the strategy is proving effective, with a significant decrease reported in border crossings and reduced strain on border-city refugee shelters. The additional troops will be deployed over the next few days to support joint task force operations.
