$2B Pentagon funds redirected to immigration operations, say Democrats

A report by Democratic members of Congress reveals that the Pentagon has redirected over $2 billion to support immigration operations under the Trump administration, which has adversely affected military readiness. General Dan Caine indicated that significant military exercises were canceled or scaled back due to troop deployments at the Southwest border. The funds, initially allocated for military construction projects, have instead been utilized for border security and immigration enforcement. The Pentagon maintains that its budget allows for multiple simultaneous operations despite these reallocations.
