White House Press Secretary has confirmed reports that President Trump has sent at least 1,500 troops to the U.S. Southern Border to stop the invasion of our country.
This should have been done a long time ago, but the Democrats–and many Republicans–were too focused on protecting foreign borders and sending hundreds of billions in aid to countries abroad.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Cullen Linebarger reported earlier, President Trump sent at least 1,500 active-duty US troops to the southern US border with Mexico on Wednesday.
Trump also signed an executive order suspending the physical entry of aliens invading our country, including through designated crossings and ports of entry.
This comes as ICE has already arrested 300 criminal illegal aliens during Trump’s first full day in office, some of which have been charged with violent crimes such as murder and child rape, The Gateway Pundit reported.
Border Czar Tom Homan announced on Tuesday that the mass deportation efforts and illegal alien raids were underway “effective today.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking to the press, confirmed on Wednesday evening that “President Trump signed an Executive Order of 1,500 additional troops to the United States southern border,” contributing to his mission to “direct the Department of Defense to make Homeland Security a core mission of the agency.”
The new Executive Order is in addition to the Executive Orders he signed Monday within hours of being sworn into office, including designating the Cartels as foreign terrorists and revoking several Biden policies on the border, which allowed unchecked illegal immigration.
The Trump administration is already saving America from the violent criminals that Biden allowed in over the last four years.

Leavitt: I believe it was Reuters who broke the news that President Trump signed an Executive Order of 1,500 additional troops to the United States southern border. This comes off of his day one action, as I just talked about on Fox News, to direct the Department of Defense to make Homeland Security a core mission of the agency. This is something President Trump campaigned on.
The American people have been waiting for such a time as this for our Department of Defense to actually take homeland security seriously. This is a number one priority
