    Trump sends troops to Mexico border; double the number fighting ISIS in Syria

    President Donald Trump, eager to focus voters on immigration in the lead-up to the midterm elections November 6, stepped up his warnings about the caravans

    The Pentagon said on Monday it is sending 5,200 troops, some armed, to the Southwest border this week in an extraordinary military operation to stop Central American migrants traveling north in two caravans that were still hundreds of miles from the U.S. The number of troops is more than double the 2,000 who are in Syria fighting the Islamic State group.
