Border Security and Immigration Enforcement

The deployment of 1,500 active duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border is part of new immigration enforcement measures being implemented by the Trump administration. These troops will aid Border Patrol operations, including helicopter support and the construction of barriers, as well as assisting with the deportation of over 5,000 migrants. In the administration's initial 24 hours, ICE conducted arrests of 308 illegal immigrants, focusing on serious criminals. Additionally, the House passed the Lake and Riley Act, allowing for the detention of undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes, which now awaits the president's approval.
