"US deploys 1500 troops to Mexico border ahead of Title 42 deadline"

The Biden administration will temporarily send 1,500 additional troops to help secure the US-Mexico border in preparation for a possible rise in illegal immigration when COVID-19 border restrictions lift later this month. The 90-day deployment of active-duty troops will supplement the work of the US Border Patrol but not carry out law enforcement duties. The force will be in addition to an ongoing deployment of about 2,500 National Guard troops. The so-called Title 42 restrictions, set to end on May 11, allow US authorities to rapidly expel non-Mexican migrants to Mexico without the chance to seek asylum.
