The U.S. Army has told units to prepare for deployment in anticipation of a decision to further increase U.S. military presence at the U.S.-Mexico border in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Axar.az reports this based on information from CBS.

On his second full day in office, President Trump declared a national emergency along the southern border and ordered the Defense Department to provide troops and resources "to support the activities of the Secretary of Homeland Security in obtaining complete operational control" of the border. He also instructed the military to help build border barriers to discourage migrants.

Trump administration officials are considering deploying as many as 10,000 soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a dramatic crackdown on illegal immigration.

The president had also signed another executive order to deploy 1,500 troops to the southern border, where 2,500 soldiers are already stationed under federal orders.
