White House insists that US troops sent to southern border will not ‘be engaging’ with migrants
Fox News
The White House said on Wednesday that troops deployed to the border will not be engaging with migrants, but helping with administrative duties and supporting Border Patrol.
It comes in preparation for the end of the Title 42 public health order on May 11. The ending of the order, which allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border, is expected to be followed by a rush of migration to the border.

The move had brought opposition from some immigration doves, including Sen. Bob Menendez, D-NJ, who called it "unacceptable."
