Pentagon Pulls 1,100 Troops From U.S.-Mexico Border

The Pentagon is pulling a total of 1100 active military troops from the US Mexico border. The troops were deployed in May as part of a temporary 90 day surge in military presence at the US Mexico border. They will finish their mission by August 8 with another 400 military personnel staying at the border through the end of the month. The government said soldiers were not sent to interact with migrants but instead were sent to free up customs and border protection by helping them with data entry tasks and warehouse support.
