Mexico 's president offered to send 10,000 troops to the U.S. border.

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo has more than 280,000 military troops at her disposal.

More than 9,000 Army and National Guard troops were stationed at the northern border in the first half of last year .

The two countries had reached a similar deal in 2019 after Trump threatened tariffs amid rising illegal migration.

Mexico 's show of force at the northern border comes at a time when migration is at a low point.

The latest National Guard deployment "will reinforce the troops already deployed at the border," Mexico 's government says.

Border Patrol's El Paso Sector covering West Texas and New Mexico is recording dozens not thousands of migrant encounters every day .
