The deployment of thousands of US troops along the Mexico border has intensified under new rules set by the Trump administration, aimed at enforcing stricter immigration policies. This militarization of the border has led to an expanded role for the military, raising concerns about the implications for civil-military relations. Reports highlight instances where troops are actively monitoring the border and sounding alarms when individuals attempt to cross the US-Mexico border wall. Observers note that this development pushes the military into a gray area regarding their enforcement capabilities and authority, further complicating the immigration issue.
