Mexico deploys 15,000 troops to its US border to prevent migrants from crossing through, under threat of tariffs on its exports by Trump
"In the northern part of the country we have a total deployment of 14,000, almost 15,000 units between the National Guard and the Army," says Luis Cresencio Sandoval, the head of Mexican Army.
Mexico has not traditionally used security forces to stop undocumented foreign citizens leaving the country for the United States, and photographs of militarised police catching Central American and Cuban women at the border in recent days have been met with criticism. Alongside 6,500 members of the security forces sent to Mexico's southern border area with Guatemala, where many migrants enter, a larger contingent was in the north, he said.
A new militarised police force formed from soldiers, marines and federal police, the National Guard is at the heart of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's plan to restore order in a country convulsed by record levels of violence. Former Mexican national security official Gustavo Mohar said Mexico's security forces had not been used this way before, describing the development as "sad."The National Guard should ideally not be implementing migration policy, he argued, while acknowledging that Mexican migration authorities were overwhelmed.
