NBC News Homeland Security Correspondent Julia Ainsley joins Ana Cabrera with new reporting that the Biden Administration is considering sending 1,500 military personnel to the U.S.-Mexico border ahead of Title 42 lifting next week. The US is sending 1,500 troops to bolster resources at its southern border ahead of an expected surge of migrants, the defence department said. They will accompany 2,500 National Guard members already in place to support the work of border agents. Title 42, a Trump-era policy that gives the government power to automatically expel undocumented migrants, is set to expire on 11 May. Officials expect a sharp increase in migrants to follow. The additional military personnel will be deployed for 90 days to "supplement" the work of US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officers, a US official told the BBC on Tuesday. They will not be doing any law enforcement, the official said, but will instead assist with transportation, narcotics detection, data entry and warehouse support. In a statement released later by the Department of Defense, the agency said the additional personnel would fill "critical capability gaps".
