Biden sending 1,500 troops to the border
The Biden administration has approved sending 1,500 active duty U.S. troops to the southern border in the coming days amid concerns that tens of thousands of migrants will surge into the country once Title 42 is lifted, sources tell Fox News. The U.S. soldiers would come from a variety of active duty Army units and would serve for 90 days in mostly administrative and transport roles to free up law enforcement and Border Patrol, according to two senior U.S. officials familiar with the deliberations. The 90-day deployment is not inconsistent with support to the border going back to the George W. Bush administration, a White House official said.
