The Pentagon is removing most of the troops who were deployed to the southern border ahead of a feared post-Title 42 surge after their 90-day mission ended, although 400 will remain in place until the end of the month.

A defense official confirmed to Fox News Digital that 1,100 active-duty troops that were deployed have already begun to return to their home bases. The 90-day deployment window will end on Aug. 8. The development was first reported by the Associated Press.

The official said that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin authorized up to 400 active-duty troops to remain at the border until Aug 31.

The troops were deployed after a request from the Department of Homeland Security in May for support ahead of the end of the Title 42 public health order, which allowed for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the southern border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was feared that the ending of the order would be accompanied by a massive surge in migrants, and the Biden administration took a number of steps -- including expanding legal pathways to migration and implementing an asylum rule to bar asylum to some illegal immigrants -- to prevent that surge.

While migrant numbers hit record highs in the days leading up to the order’s expiration, with 10,000 a day at one point, numbers overall went down after the order ended. While still remaining relatively high, with over 200,000 in May and 144,000 in June, the administration has said the decrease shows its plan has been working.

REJECTION OF BIDEN ASYLUM RULE AFTER COURT CHALLENGE RAISES FEARS OF FRESH BORDER SURGE 

"Our approach to managing the borders securely and humanely even within our fundamentally broken immigration system is working," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said last week at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. 

However, there are signs that that decrease in numbers may soon reverse. The administration was dealt a blow to its post-Title 42 strategy when the asylum rule was blocked by a federal judge last week in response to a lawsuit from left-wing groups.

DHS said in its filing to the court that, if the rule is shot down, it "anticipates a return to elevated encounter levels that would place significant strain on DHS components, border communities, and interior cities."

In a separate filing it warned of 100,000 migrants waiting in northern Mexico who appeared to be "waiting to see whether the strengthened consequences associated with the rule’s implementation are real." The administration is currently appealing the ruling, and the order will remain in effect for the time being.

This week, the Washington Post reported that initial border numbers saw a 30% increase in July. Meanwhile, officials in Panama announced that there have been nearly 250,000 people cross so far this year through the Darien Gap – a key crossing point for migrants attempting to reach the United States.

Sharon Osbourne is sharing more about her experience with Ozempic and its side effects.

On the "Club Random with Bill Maher" podcast, the 70-year-old spoke about using "the f---ing injection that everybody takes" to lose weight, referring to Ozempic.

"When you have a weight problem and you’ve tried everything, and then somebody says, ‘Take this injection and you’re going to be skinny,’" she said.

Maher noted that "you’re always playing the odds" when it comes to healthcare, and Osbourne agreed.

She then went on to detail her experience with the side effects of the drug.

"It’s different for everybody, but for me, the first few weeks was f---ing s--- because you just throw up all the time. You feel so nauseous," Osbourne said. 

"After a couple of weeks, it goes," she added, "and then you’re just fine, you feel nothing. Just not hungry."

Osbourne said she isn’t currently using the drug and not feeling the same level of hunger.

"Your stomach shrinks, and you change," she explained.

The former talk show host also revealed she used to slide back into bad habits, noting she’s "always had a weight problem," but hasn’t after being on Ozempic.

"Usually I do, I’ll give it a couple of weeks and then I’m like, f--- it, I’ll have pasta," she said.

Osbourne also joked about losing weight at a time when fuller figures are being welcomed. 

"It was just my luck that when big bums come in, I don’t f---ing have one anymore," she quipped. "My whole life I spent getting rid of my f---ing bum, and now it’s all in."

Earlier this year, Osbourne spoke about using an injectable weight loss drug to lose 30 pounds, but did not specify which one.

On "The Talk UK" in May, she said, "I took it for four months and I lost 30 pounds, but like everything, there's always no quick recipe."

She continued, "I was very sick for a couple of months. The first couple of months, I just felt nauseous. Every day I felt nauseous, my stomach was upset, whatever."

"But listen, I took it for four months, I lost 30 pounds. I've just shoved two chips in my mouth, while we had the break, and I eat normally now, and I haven't put on a pound. Nothing," she explained.
