U.S. officials say the Pentagon will begin deploying as many as 1,500 active duty troops to help secure the southern border in the coming days.

President Donald Trump ordered defense officials to come up with a plan in the next 10 days to seal off the U.S. border with Mexico, including the possible deployment of more troops, drones, barriers and building more wall.

The flurry of attempted illegal crossing along the U.S.-Mexico border comes just 72 hours before Trump's inauguration. Border Patrol agents dissuaded and easily rounded the few migrants to face criminal charges of illegally entering the U.S.

President Donald Trump’s plans to seal the U.S.-Mexico border and conduct mass deportations might soon run into a major roadblock: Mexico and the countries where the immigrants come from might not accept some of them back.
