Border Deployment Vehicle Accident Kills Two Service Members, Third In Critical Condition

Two service members deployed to the U.S. Southern border were killed and a third is in serious condition after a vehicle accident near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, the military announced late Tuesday. The region where the accident took place is near Fort Bliss, a major Army installation in Texas that has played a critical role in dispatching military deportation flights and served as a touchpoint for thousands of soldiers and pieces of equipment now deployed along the border. The troops are deployed there in support of President Donald Trump's executive order to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
