The U.S. military is flying surveillance aircraft along the southern border with Mexico to collect intelligence and conduct reconnaissance, according to U.S. defense sources familiar with operations at the border.

The U-2 spy planes have been joined by P-8A Poseidon aircraft and are flying the length of the border.

The Navy P-8A and U-2 Air Force aircraft have been deployed to the border since President Donald Trump issued a Day One executive order declaring a national emergency there, and have been flying about one sortie per day.


Fox News is told this is not the first time that the U.S. has flown this kind of surveillance along the border.
