Military Deployed to Secure US Southern Border | JQJO

President Trump issued a memorandum deploying the military to the US Southern border to repel invasions and seal it from illegal entry. The memorandum directs the Secretaries of Defense, Interior, Agriculture, and Homeland Security to coordinate land use and jurisdiction for military operations, including border barrier construction. This action follows a previous executive order assigning the military these missions and declares a national emergency at the border. Implementation will be phased, starting with a limited sector, with a 45-day assessment.

A powerful coalition of federal legislators, executive branch officials, and multinational technology corporations has coalesced around a strategy of "federal preemption," seeking to strip state governments of their authority over generative AI. The coalition argues that the legal frameworks governing these technologies are in a state of flux as generative AI affects every sector of the economy, from healthcare diagnostics to creative industries. The push aims to centralize regulation at the federal level, limiting state‑level oversight of AI development and deployment.
