Verdict: False

This video is from 2024 and was likely taken in Poland.

Fact Check:

The U.S. is sending additional troops to the southern border, where 2,200 troops are already helping to support Customs and Border Patrol’s efforts, according to CNN.

Social media users are claiming to show U.S. military forces heading to the Mexico-U.S. border. One user wrote, “Heading to the border in Texas 🇺🇲 Arrest deport, rinse and repeat.” (RELATED: No, Firefighters In LA Are Not Fighting Wildfires Using ‘Handbags’)

This claim is false. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found that the video has been circulating since August 2024. One video claimed it was taken in Poland and shows Polish troops preparing for war with Russia.

“What now 🙄: POLAND – The army is preparing for war with Russia because “we live in times of war,” says Prime Minister Tusk…” reads the tweet.

However, Misbar reported that the video shows the Polish Independence Day celebration and parade. It is not about Poland preparing to go to war with Russia.
