US Mexico Border | Marines use Osprey aircraft & concertina wire to fortify border wall | N18G

U.S. officials say the Pentagon is readying orders for the deployment of at least 1,000 additional active duty troops to bolster President Donald Trump’s expanding crackdown on immigration.
On Friday afternoon, dozens of Marines worked to bolster the border wall separating San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico.
The troops used concertina wire and other materials delivered by Osprey aircraft to fortify the base of the 18-foot wall.
The Pentagon says roughly 500 more soldiers will be sent to the southwest border. And about 500 Marines will go to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where some of the detained migrants will be held.
The officials spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because announcements have not been made.
They said there have been ongoing discussions about the deployments and the numbers could increase if additional details are worked out.
The Pentagon has been scrambling to put in motion Trump’s executive orders signed shortly after he took office.
