This is the latest development after President Trump declared a national emergency along the southern border and ordered the Defense Department to provide troops.

Mexico is constructing tents to receive Mexican nationals deported under Trump's mass deportations and provide them with services to help resettle.

U.S. authorities on Friday removed dozens of migrants through a border crossing in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, and Mexican authorities immediately placed them on buses and drove them south, away from Juarez.

U.S. officials say the Pentagon will begin deploying as many as 1,500 active duty troops to help secure the southern border in the coming days.

The move enacts President Trump's executive orders issued shortly after he took office to intensify immigration enforcement.
