FLASHBACK: Democrats opposed sending troops to border under Trump administration
Fox News
Democrats previously opposed sending troops to the border under former President Donald Trump, but have remained tight-lipped following President Biden's similar move.
The news, which broke Tuesday afternoon, has left Democrats in an awkward position and with party leadership staying largely silent on the issue. Fox News Digital reached out to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer about the deployment but did not immediately receive responses.

The silence runs in stark contrast to Democrats' sharp condemnation of the Trump administration sending more than 5,000 active-duty soldiers to the border in October 2018. More than 100 Democratic members of Congress, including Jeffries, sent a letter to then-Defense Secretary James Mattis opposing the deployment, and accusing Trump of exploiting the migrants attempting to enter the country.
