Heavily camouflaged Marines on an antidrug mission shot and killed American high school student Esequiel Hernandez Jr., 18, after he apparently shot in their direction with a rifle he was using to protect his goats from wild dogs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/11\/27\/us\/esequiel-hernandez-death-border-mexico.html\">The New York Times recounted in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hernandez\u2019s death has left lasting wariness of troops in some Texas border communities, and those with concerns about domestic military deployments <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2018\/04\/esequiel-hernandez-the-american-teenager-killed-by-u-s-troops-on-border-deployment.html\">have continued<\/a> to raise it as a cautionary tale. But the 1997 mission was far different in terms of goals and tactics from the more recent ones meant to stave off increases in immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homeland Security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2023\/05\/02\/dhs-statement-request-additional-dod-support-southwest-border\">first announced<\/a> the deployment of troops May 2 but didn\u2019t provide specifics about which units would be sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoD personnel have never, and will not, perform law enforcement activities or interact with migrants or other individuals in DHS custody,\u201d the Homeland Security statement about the deployment of troops read. \u201cThis support will free up DHS law enforcement personnel to perform their critical law enforcement missions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elements from the Army\u2019s 93rd Military Police Battalion, 89th Military Police Brigade, based at Fort Bliss, Texas, also are deploying to the border, according to a May 5 Northern Command news release. A small number of airmen also will deploy for this mission, the release stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2022\/04\/25\/this-is-what-itll-take-to-end-the-militarys-border-mission\/\">2,500 National Guardsmen are already at the border<\/a> as part of a preexisting mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impetus for the deployment of troops in support of the Department of Homeland Security is the end of Title 42, an emergency health authority that allowed U.S. officials to turn away migrants who came to the U.S.-Mexico border on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19. It was a holdover from President Donald Trump\u2019s administration and began in March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Joe Biden initially kept Title 42 in place after he took office, then tried to end its use in 2022. Republicans sued, arguing the restrictions were necessary for border security. Courts had kept the rules in place. But the Biden administration announced in January that it was ending national COVID-19 emergencies, and so the border restrictions have now gone away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New rules strip away that ability to simply expel asylum seekers but add stricter consequences to those not going through official migratory channels. Migrants caught crossing illegally will not be allowed to return for five years and can face criminal prosecution if they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/title-42-expires-migrant-surge-border-89d085d1\">a surge of migrants<\/a> entered the United States in the lead-up to the end of Title 42 on Thursday night,
