BOLDUAN Thousands thousands more ░░░░░░░░ duty U S troops ░░░░░░░░ now being ordered to ░░░░░░░░ southern border days after ░░░░░░░░ Trump declared a national ░░░░░░░░ at the border The ░░░░░░░░ wave is expected to ░░░░░░░░ around 1 500 troops ░░░░░░░░ more troops expected to ░░░░░░░░ in the coming weeks ░░░░░░░░ months CNN s Priscilla ░░░░░░░░ has much more on ░░░░░░░░ for us She s ░░░░░░░░ us now Good morning ░░░░░░░░ ALVAREZ Good morning Kate ░░░░░░░░ is really a show ░░░░░░░░ force by the Trump ░░░░░░░░ along the U S ░░░░░░░░ border There are already ░░░░░░░░ who are helping U ░░░░░░░░ Border Patrol along the ░░░░░░░░ but this is going ░░░░░░░░ be in addition to ░░░░░░░░ with those 1 500 ░░░░░░░░ perhaps more to follow ░░░░░░░░ what are they going ░░░░░░░░ do Well they re ░░░░░░░░ to be focused on ░░░░░░░░ readiness on augmenting air ░░░░░░░░ on providing intelligence support ░░░░░░░░ it comes to assessing ░░░░░░░░ and the flow of ░░░░░░░░ A lot of work ░░░░░░░░ can be done and ░░░░░░░░ often done behind the ░░░░░░░░ But in addition to ░░░░░░░░ of that they are ░░░░░░░░ sending military aircraft today ░░░░░░░░ San Diego and to ░░░░░░░░ Paso to repatriate those ░░░░░░░░ are already in Border ░░░░░░░░ custody That would mean ░░░░░░░░ recent border crossers who ░░░░░░░░ be quickly repatriated to ░░░░░░░░ origin country so they ░░░░░░░░ be using military aircraft ░░░░░░░░ do that Now the ░░░░░░░░ is relatively quiet I ░░░░░░░░ told that there are ░░░░░░░░ between 1 100 to ░░░░░░░░ 300 crossings a day ░░░░░░░░ is far below when ░░░░░░░░ was 6 000 8 ░░░░░░░░ 12 000 before So ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ way to augment support ░░░░░░░░ the U S southern ░░░░░░░░ But it also comes ░░░░░░░░ a time when crossings ░░░░░░░░ lower than where they ░░░░░░░░ been before And also ░░░░░░░░ the administration has essentially ░░░░░░░░ off the border to ░░░░░░░░ seekers.
