WESLACO – Many of the troops who were deployed to South Texas and Arizona have been moved to California for similar work.

In a statement Monday, the U.S. Northern Command explained the 300 who were sent include military police, as well as engineering and logistics troops.

CHANNEL 5 NEWS learned the troops were sent to aid U.S. Customs and Border Protection along the border.
