(Worthy News) – Hundreds of troops who were deployed to the United States border with Mexico earlier this year as the government ended pandemic-related asylum restrictions are now returning home.

Department of Defense spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Devin Robinson told VOA on Wednesday that 1,100 active-duty troops have already started moving out after helping U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents for the last three months with administrative tasks such as data entry, warehouse duties and detection and monitoring support.

In May, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the deployment of 1,500 active-duty troops to the border for a 90-day mission to assist border patrol agents. The government anticipated a surge in border crossings, and the goal of the troops, according to U.S. officials, was to free up Customs and Border Protection personnel so that they could serve in the field.
