Since 6:00 AM on Tuesday, February 4, the Mexican government has initiated the Northern Border Operation, deploying 10,000 members of the National Guard (GN) and the Army to reinforce security along the country's northern border.<\/span><\/p>\n

This action is by the agreements made on Monday, February 3, between the Mexican and U.S. governments on security and trade issues, following a phone call between the presidents of both countries, during which it was also agreed to suspend the imposition of tariffs by the United States for one month.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this regard, the Secretary of Defense<\/a> prepared for the deployment of 10,000 National Guard and Army personnel. At 3:00 PM on February 3, a C-130 Hercules plane and a C-27J Spartan from the Mexican Air Force took off from the \"Felipe \u00c1ngeles\" International Airport heading to Campeche, while two Boeing 727 aircraft from the National Guard departed from Mexico City\u2019s Benito Ju\u00e1rez International Airport, destined for M\u00e9rida, Yucat\u00e1n, and Canc\u00fan, Quintana Roo, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Mexican government, the purpose of these flights was to transport 990 National Guard agents, starting at 6:00 AM on February 4 (Central Mexico time), to the cities of Tijuana, Baja California; Sonoyta, Sonora; and Matamoros, Tamaulipas.<\/span><\/p>\n
