US to cut border troops while extending deployment
The United States plans to reduce active duty border troops from about 5,600 to 4,000 while extending the deployment by 45 days. Mattis had not signed off, but approval was expected. Deployment supports Border Patrol with wire work, transport, and security, shifting more troops to California from Texas and Arizona. The effort costs an estimated 210 million dollars so far, with 72 million for active troops and 138 million for National Guard personnel.
