1,500 active-duty troops headed to US-Mexico border White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump is “sending a very strong message” to people around the world

Trump's order comes as US officials announce the deployment of additional active duty troops to the border, and as processes that allow swift deportations are expanded.

The US also moved to cancel all refugee travel and processing, leaving thousands stranded as they wait to come to the US.

US President Donald Trump told US government agencies to prepare to "immediately repel, repatriate, and remove" undocumented immigrants as part of a wider effort to fight what he's termed an "invasion" across the southern border. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwx7qeeyleo
