The White House and Department of Homeland Security released additional details Wednesday about President Trump's plans to send National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Here's what we know so far:
-Purpose: President Trump issue a directive to the National Guard Wednesday to offer assistance to DHS along the southern border with Mexico. National Guard troops will not perform apprehensions, but instead will offer personnel support, conduct surveillance, repair current border wall/fence and vehicle maintenance. This will allow Border Patrol agents to be deployed to the front line for apprehension roles. Troops will not arrest or detain illegal aliens.
-Time frame: DHS officials say National Guard troops will be deployed until Congress ends catch and release, in addition to legal loopholes to secure the border. They will be deployed immediately.
-Number of troops:
-Where will National Guard troops deploy? Administration officials say troops will be deployed to the highest trafficked areas of the southern border. Currently, the Rio Grand Valley in Texas has the highest number of illegal crossings.
-In the meantime: The White House and DHS are developing a new legislative package to end catch and release......snip~
