Pentagon Prepares to Deploy More Than 5,000 Troops
January 25, 2025 at 10:53 am EST By Taegan Goddard

“The Pentagon on Friday readied more than 5,000 troops from high-profile warfighting units to deploy to the southwestern U.S., moving to fulfill President Trump’s order to escalate the military role along the border,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Armed infantry and support troops from the 82nd Airborne Division and the 10th Mountain Division—two of the Army’s most experienced combat formations—could be at the border within days.”

Meanwhile, Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan told ABC News military planes will deport migrants every day.

Washington Post: Plans for Trump’s border mission include combat vehicles, infantry.

They hate blue states (California most of all) and they hate people of color.

It's also abundantly clear to me that when Trump gets around to using the U.S. military to quell dissent on U.S. soil, they'll eagerly do his bidding.

Goodbye Posse Comitatus. Hello fascist dictatorship.

That allows him to seize control of unprecedented emergency powers.

He’s primed his cult to believe we’re being “invaded” (sic) by “terrorists”, disease, fentanyl etc.

He and Hegseth have openly talked about (illegally) invading Mexico to go after the cartels. Now he’s moving strike groups along with infantry into an area that has little oversight and a friendly CBP agency that will look away at illegalities…

I’d take bets we’re in Mexico within weeks not months.
