Noted that multiple sources would report that the troops going to the boarder were going to 3 states- TX, AZ and CA. I didn't see NM ever mentioned. So I spent a few moments and found sauce that none are being deployed to NM.

That seems like quite the anomaly to me. Reason?

"The number of troops headed to the border keeps rising, with 5,600 already deployed and a total of 7,000 expected eventually to support U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Northern Command officials said Thursday.

So far, 2,800 troops are deployed in Texas, 1,300 in California — including 1,100 Marines from Camp Pendleton — and 1,500 are deployed in Arizona.

No troops so far have been deployed to New Mexico, although DoD initially indicated they would be.

The Pentagon also has no estimate available on how much the operation will cost, said spokesman Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis. Reporters and lawmakers have pressed officials in the building for weeks now on how much the rapid deployment of thousands of troops would cost.

On Wednesday, DoD confirmed it had stopped calling the mission “Operation Faithful Patriot.”
