President Trump is not wasting any time stopping the invasion of America that started under Joe Biden.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported earlier today, ICE has already arrested 300 criminal aliens during Trump’s first full day in office. Some of those aliens have been charged with violent crimes such as murder and child r*pe.

Homan previously emphasized that even without the help of sanctuary leaders, the feds would still “wait til they get out of jail, then we’ll go out into the neighborhoods and get them.”

With interior enforcement beefed up, Trump is now focusing on the exterior. CNN reported this morning that thousands of active-duty US troops are at the southern US border with Mexico.

This comes just two days after Trump issued executive orders to bolster immigration enforcement.

Sources told The AP the total number is 1,500 active-duty forces. Newsweek notes the deployed forces will assist border patrol agents by providing logistics, transportation, and constructing barriers.

This news should come as a welcome respite to border agents because federal resources r have been stretched thin for years courtesy of the four-year-long invasion.

More active troops are expected in the next few weeks and months. At this point, whether the forces will be armed is unclear.

Sources told CNN that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that deploying active duty forces to the border will enable Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has personnel on the border, to refocus on rounding up illegal migrants already inside the country.

CNN notes that federal law bars active duty troops from carrying out law enforcement roles, including arrests or seizing drugs without authorization.

However, on Inauguration Day, Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency at the southern border. This was absolutely essential thanks to the Biden regime’s deliberate attempt to remake American society courtesy of open borders and no interior enforcement.

Trump stated he would decide within 90 days whether or not to invoke the Insurrection Act at the border, which would allow active-duty troops to be used for law enforcement.
