The White House announced Friday that it had deployed Marines to the U.S. southern border.

"The US Marine Corps Is On The Border Assisting CBP With The Mission To Secure America," the White House wrote on the social media platform, X.

The post included a video of planes flying down to the U.S.-Mexico border with soldiers coming out of them.

Earlier this week, the acting secretary of defense signed orders deploying 1,500 active military troops to help secure the border.

President Donald Trump has already signed multiple executive orders cracking down on illegal immigration. He further vowed during his 2024 presidential campaign to secure the border while suggesting he'd use troops for both. 

"Promise Made --> Promise KEPT!" the White House post concluded.
