Correction: those 50 arrived early Thursday morning. No change to other information below.
An initial element of about 50 Marines from @1st_Marine_Div arrived in San Diego, CA this morning with expectations to move closer to the Southern Border today in preparation for main body of 450 other Marines that are ready to move from Camp Pendleton, a Marine official told me.
