Pete Hegseth meets with troops at the southern border to deliver warning about Trump's MAGA agenda
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Trump has doubled the number of troops now stationed at the southern border
- 500 Marines also landed in Guantanamo Bay over the weekend
President Donald Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth went to the southern border on Monday for his first official trip in his new role.
The former Fox News host traveled with border czar Tom Homan to meet with troops deployed there to prevent illegal crossings.
The number of troops stationed at the southern border has doubled since Trump directed the Pentagon to take 'full operational control' of the ongoing crisis.
Plans are to send a total of 10,000 troops to the border, but so far approximately 2,600 Marines and Army soldiers have deployed since Hegseth began implementing Trump's directive last week.
Additionally, 500 Marines arrived at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba on Sunday.
It will be used to house and hold illegal immigrants being deported from the U.S. until repatriation operations can take place.
'It was an honor to meet the troops engaged in securing our southern border,' Hegseth wrote in a post to X along with a video of him shaking hands with forces in Texas.
Hegseth and Homan spoke with those at Army Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas on Monday as more troops prepare to deploy.
U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) briefed the two men on their operations at the border during their meeting in Texas on Monday.
'Our service members are mission-ready and hard at work,' Hegseth said after the meeting.
Members of the Marines and Army are tasked with helping in detection and evasion efforts at the border.
They are also carrying out deportation flights of migrants being repatriated with their countries of origin.
