This decision \u200dcomes after 1,500 troops were initially assigned\u200c to\u200c the border in May for a\u200b 90-day period. While Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin withdrew 1,100\u2062 troops in August, the remaining 400 will continue their deployment.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;On\u2064 August 24, 2023, \u200bthe Secretary of Defense approved an extension of up to 400 \u200bpersonnel providing support to Customs and Border Protection on the Southwest border through September 30, 2023,&#8221; said \u2064Pentagon spokesman\u2064 Lt. Col. Devin\u200c Robinson.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This \u200dmarks the\u2063 second extension for\u2063 these \u200b400 \u200btroops. Originally deployed in anticipation of a surge in migration in Texas and Arizona, the \u200bexpected increase in border crossings did \u200bnot materialize. In fact,\u200b the \u2064numbers\u2063 dwindled to 3,000 per day instead\u200b of the projected 10,000 before the \u2062expiration. However, the crossings\u2064 have since risen to \u20635,000 per day, according to Customs and Border Protection.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson from the Department of Homeland Security expressed appreciation\u200b for the extension,\u200c stating, &#8220;The support\u200b personnel are critical so that CBP agents and officers\u200d can get out in the field to securely, safely, and\u2064 humanely manage\u2062 the southwest border.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The remaining troops \u2064are currently providing assistance\u2064 to CBP agents in ground-based\u200c detection and monitoring, data entry, \u200band\u2063 warehouse support.
