The deployment includes an unspecified number of Mexican army soldiers and National Guard troops going to Juárez and the Chihuahua-state border towns of Ojinaga, across from Presidio, Texas, and Palomas, across from Columbus, New Mexico, reported La Verdad Juárez news site.

Masked and armed National Guard members were seen scouring the brush along the border, retrieving makeshift ladders and ropes concealed in the trenches before loading them onto trucks. Patrols were also conducted in other parts of the border near Tijuana.
