U.S. Expands Military Presence Along Southern Border with Two New Zones
The United States is establishing two new expanded military buffer zones along the border with Mexico, as announced by Pentagon officials. These zones, set to be located in Arizona and Texas, are part of an effort to enhance military operations related to immigration enforcement. The new military zones are aimed at facilitating the detention of migrants, with service members expected to play a key role. This initiative comes as crossings at the border hit record lows, prompting additional measures to address immigration and security concerns. Reports indicate that nearly 200 individuals have been charged with immigration-related offenses in New Mexico alone. The development has sparked discussions around the militarization of border areas and the ongoing challenges of migration management.
