Recent developments have seen heightened military involvement at the southern border of the United States, as former President Trump authorizes the Pentagon to take control of public land. This includes a significant military surge aimed at sealing the border and countering invasions. The Air Force has conducted over 50 missions to gather intelligence, while US destroyers operate off the coast in support of a new domestic security strategy. Surveillance efforts are being enhanced with spy satellites directed at the border, as the Department of Defense provides ongoing support to Joint Task Force-Southern Border. The situation continues to evolve with the military expanding its role in border security operations.
