US Troops to leave border just as migrant caravan arrives

The Pentagon announced all active-duty troops sent to the U.S. southern border ahead of a migrant caravan’s arrival will begin to drawdown, just as that caravan of asylum-seeking refugees began to arrive at a port of entry in Tijuana, Mexico.
Army Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan, who runs the mission out of Texas, told Politico that the troops sent by President Trump to back up existing border enforcement “should be home by Christmas.” He also said troop numbers would rapidly fall after “engineer and logistics troops” finish fortifying entry ports and base camps along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Buchanan also confirmed that the Pentagon rejected a Department of Homeland Security request for “armed force to back up Border Patrol agents in the event of a violent confrontation,” describing the request as a “law enforcement task.” Migrants started arriving in Tijuana by the hundreds late last week, with Mexican officials worrying about how to house the influx of migrants.

U.S. Army North on Tuesday backtracked from recent comments by its commander that the 5,800 active duty troops sent to the border in October could be back at their home bases by Christmas, some as early as this week.
“No specific timeline for redeployment has been determined. We will provide more details as they become available,” the San Antonio-based command said in a one-paragraph statement issued Tuesday morning.

Still trying to figure out why DHS isn’t a part of the DOD. What does the Department of Defense do if not Secure our Homeland?

I didn't leave the board, I was looking at other threads.
You guys crying fake news are flat out wrong.
Nothing in the article is untrue.
What seems to have happened in the interim is that somehow the Pentagon got wind of what was being said "in the field" and someone at HQ (the Pentagon) said, oh poo, this don't look too good, better backtrack on this one ASAP.
All this simply indicates to me that there is great confusion between the people in charge about what is happening and what will happen.
Things are being done in a disorganized and "seat of the pants" way it seems, and that should not be taking place.

This fake news has already been contradicted by the Pentagon since it first made the headlines THREE DAYS AGO! Do you not even look at the date of your fake news articles before you post them?!?
