Pentagon Deploying 3,000 U.S. Troops Back to Afghanistan in ‘Temporary’ Mission
The Pentagon announced Thursday it will deploy three infantry battalions, or roughly 3,000 troops, to assist with the reduction of American civilians at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, and the evacuation of Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants from the country.
The battalions are already in the region, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said during a press conference. They will move to the Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul within the next 24-48 hours. Two of the battalions are Marine battalions while the third is an Army battalion. They will join the 650 U.S. troops already in Kabul.
In addition, a joint Army and Air Force support element of around 1,000 personnel will help with the processing of the SIV applicants, Kirby said. The element would move into Qatar in the coming days, he said.
Lastly, an infantry brigade combat team will deploy to Kuwait to be “postured and prepared if needed to provide additional security at the airport,” Kirby added. That brigade combat team would arrive sometime in the next week, he said.
“These forces are being deployed to support the orderly and safe reduction of civilian personnel at the request of the State Department and to help facilitate an accelerated process of working through SIV applicants. This is a temporary mission with a narrow focus,” he said.
The Pentagon cited a deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan as the reason for the deployment.
There have been an increasing number of reports from the region of Taliban forces seizing more territory as the Biden administration continues the wind down of the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan.
Although the Trump administration began negotiations with the Taliban to withdrawal all U.S. combat troops by May of 2021, former President Donald Trump left office with 2,500 U.S. troops still in the country.
Trump criticized the Biden administration’s withdrawal in a statement Thursday.
“Had our 2020 Presidential Election not been rigged, and if I were now President, the world would find that our withdrawal from Afghanistan would be a conditions-based withdrawal. I personally had discussions with top Taliban leaders whereby they understood what they are doing now would not have been acceptable,” he said.
“It would have been a much different and much more successful withdrawal, and the Taliban understood that better than anyone. What is going on now is not acceptable. It should have been done much better,” he added.
Kirby insisted the Biden administration would still aim to withdraw U.S. combat forces by the end of August.

Cartel Smugglers Abandon 6-Year-Old in Arizona Border Desert
Human smugglers moved an unaccompanied six-year-old across the Arizona border from Mexico and then abandoned the boy.
Yuma Sector Chief Patrol agent Chris Clem tweeted images captured by border surveillance camera operators monitoring traffic along the Arizona border with Mexico. The images reveal smugglers moving a little boy across an irrigation canal into the United States.
The smugglers then directed the boy through a gap in the incomplete border wall system and parted ways.
Additional images show the boy with Border Patrol agents and medical staff.
Chief Clem reports that his agents have apprehended more than 4,700 unaccompanied minors during Fiscal Year 2021, which began on October 1, 2020. He stated that 500 of these were age 12 and under.
Elsewhere in the Yuma Sector, Border Patrol agents rescued two migrants who became lost in the desert after illegally crossing the border from Mexico into Arizona. Agents determined both suffered from severe dehydration.
A Border Patrol agent trained as an EMT began intravenous fluid to stabilize the migrants before moving them to the Yuma Regional Medical Center for additional treatment and evaluation.
As of June 30, Yuma Sector agents apprehended nearly 60,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border — an increase of more than 800 percent over the same period last year.

EXCLUSIVE: Mexico Abandons Border State Immigration Checkpoints near Texas
Mexican authorities abandoned at least two immigration checkpoints along the busiest highway used by cartel-linked human smugglers to reach the Texas border. The abandoned posts were revealed as U.S. authorities report record-setting numbers of migrant apprehensions in South Texas.
Breitbart Texas obtained exclusive access to a Mexican federal memo that revealed since early June, agents with the National Migration Institute (INM) were removed from the checkpoint in Cadereyta, along the highway that connects the Monterrey metropolitan area with the border city of Reynosa. Additionally, Breitbart Texas discovered that INM officials stopped manning their checkpoint south of Reynosa along the same highway. In the past, INM agents, along with Mexico’s National Guard and Nuevo Leon State Police, inspected vehicles traveling north for migrants in the country illegally.
During the month of July, Breitbart Texas took several trips along that highway to document the lack of law enforcement presence at both checkpoints. The two stations have tents and trailers that the agents would use while manning the checkpoints.
The route from Monterrey to Reynosa is used by the Gulf Cartel as the criminal organization continues to profit from the mass migration of Central Americans to Texas. Since the start of the year, the Gulf Cartel shifted its operational resources to prioritize human smuggling and has proven successful in overwhelming the detention capabilities of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Breitbart Texas consulted with Mexican law enforcement sources who revealed that federal budget shortfalls and security concerns over armed cartel convoys are the primary reasons why the checkpoints were abandoned. Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas state police forces recently placed some high-ranking INM personnel under investigation for working for the Gulf Cartel and others.
