In a significant move to enhance border security, the United States and Mexico have agreed to conduct coordinated patrols along their shared border. This decision comes as both nations strive to improve border safety and communication. The agreement includes an increase in military collaboration, particularly with the deployment of thousands of troops at the border. As part of these efforts, Mexican National Guard troops have begun heightened inspections, leading to significant delays for travelers at crossing points, particularly in Laredo and between Arizona and Mexico. The Pentagon announced these developments amid a broader push for immigration control, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in addressing border challenges.
