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.

#2 Fuming military women need to understand where they are working, and why. Anyone in uniform who is spending $50+ for fancy hands on the job is in the wrong business.

Some Gray Hats, are doing some poking around activities. They are seeing discussions on where a large illegal group of women, teens and kids may be force or conned into storming the southern border point. With a goal to cause a major incident.

Which is likely being done to disrupt the Trump MAGA agenda, by causing a wave of racial unrest here in the USA.

#5 The border guards need then to think in terms of breaking up or channeling a charge, right? Shotguns with rock salt, paint guns, firehoses — particularly effective in winter — Israeli skunk water, caltrops…I’m sure our people can be very creative.

In the meantime, Texas has been floating those thingies in the river and adding more sections to the border fence.

Also, let Mexico know the government will be held responsible for allowing a charge to happen, with all the Trumpian horrors that would entail.

Swarms of robotic stinging insects carrying fentanyl tipped darts. Or grab a commercial agricultural spray drone loaded with the crowd control agent of your choice.

#11 The cartels have been very successful in fighting and / or subverting the Mexican authorities. They expect that to work here and under Biden et al it did. Now might be a different story, but we'll see how much overt and covert help they get from Dems in Congress and NGOs.

The LRAD’s siren is one of its main deterrents. It is specially designed to be weighted to transmit sound loaded in the frequency range where human hearing is most sensitive, roughly 2,000–4,000 Hertz. This design simultaneously ensures maximum discomfort for the target subject and maximum efficiency of the device itself.
