Military Deployed to Secure US Southern Border
Tap title to read story
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.
