The Pentagon declined to comment on the potential number of troops, saying that planning was still underway for a mission that risks taking the US military into a politically charged operation just days before the election. parliamentary elections on November 6. 

President Donald Trump, who has seized the caravan of Central American migrants in campaign rallies before the vote, said on Twitter that the military would be waiting for the procession, suggesting a much more direct role in the confrontation of migrants who that of the US defense officers He suggested. 

"Many gang members and some very bad people mingle in the Caravan that heads to our southern border," Trump wrote on Twitter.  

"Please come back, you will not be admitted to the United States unless you go through the legal process. This is an invasion of our country and our military is waiting for you! "He added. 

US officials told Reuters last week that the military will not have an active role in law enforcement, instead sending engineers, pilots and other support personnel, including some who can manage crowd control on the side. American border. Pentagon officials declined to comment Monday. 

Last week, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis authorized the use of troops and other military resources at the US-Mexico border. US officials told Reuters they would start deploying on Tuesday and their mission was authorized until mid-December. 

That authorization could be extended, they said. 

Mattis' authorization last week allowed the military to provide "mission improvement capabilities" to US Customs and Border Protection. UU To help build barriers and temporary housing. 

On Sunday, Mattis told reporters that some construction materials were already being moved to the border, including barriers. He said that the Department of Defense was still planning the logistics and details of the deployment. 

Mattis suggested that the mission take time to develop, and said it would be a "phased" operation. Officials in the United States have told Reuters that the support mission will be coordinated by the Northern Command of the United States military. 

Trump, who campaigned against illegal immigration to win the US presidential vote. UU From 2016, he has seized this caravan in the run up to the congressional elections, increasing support for his Republican Party, which seeks to maintain control of Congress. 

If Republicans lose Congress, it could be much harder for Trump to pursue his political agenda in the remaining two years of his term. 

Estimates of the size of the caravan vary from around 3,500 to more than double. Some migrants have left the trip, dissuaded by the difficulties or the possibility of making a new life in Mexico. Others joined southern Mexico. 

Trump's decision to call military service appears to be a departure from previous practice, at least in recent years, in which such operations were carried out by National Guard forces, mostly part-time military members. who are often called to serve in response to domestic emergencies. 

There are already 2,100 US National Guard forces on the border, sent after a previous Trump request in April. 

The decision to send active duty forces this time gives the Pentagon the ability to mobilize more quickly a capacity greater than would be immediately available with the Guard, officials told Reuters.
