The U.S. military is planning to deploy 5,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border—a massive increase from the initial 800 to be sent announcement last week—in anticipation of a caravan of migrants moving northward from Central America.
The Wall Street Journal reported on the troop deployment development on Oct. 29, quoting U.S. military and federal law enforcement officials as saying that the troops would be sent to ports of entry.
