US EditionA man is halted climbing the US-Mexico border wall. Under new Trump rules, US troops sound the alarm
U.S.-MEXICO BORDER, JUL 25 – U.S. troops have tripled deployment to 7,600 personnel to reduce illegal border crossings and pressure smuggling cartels designated as foreign terrorist organizations.
- President Donald Trump issued an emergency declaration that placed the military in a central role to deter migrant crossings at the southern border in 2025.
- This action followed a strategy to aggressively address immigration promises by tripling troop deployments to 7,600, including all military branches, and designating large militarized zones.
- These militarized zones empower troops to apprehend immigrants and trespassers on military property, while new restrictions limit public access to recreational areas like hunting and hiking zones in New Mexico.
- The rate of border apprehensions fell to a 60-year low as military and border patrol efforts, described as a 'force multiplier', also target smuggling cartels designated as foreign terrorist organizations.
- Naumann emphasized the military’s expanded role is not to stop Americans from recreating but to support immigration enforcement through background checks and restricted access to military bases.
