Military Zones Transform Security at Southern BorderSince April 2025, 8,000 troops and 105 armored vehicles patrol 260 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border under expanded military authority.
- The Trump administration established two military National Defense Areas along the U.S.-Mexico border granting soldiers detention powers.
- Covering 260 miles, these zones are classified as Army installations, allowing troops to temporarily detain civilians without invoking the Insurrection Act.
- Deployment includes 8,000 active-duty soldiers and 105 Stryker combat vehicles operating continuously in extreme heat conditions.
- Reactions vary locally, with some residents feeling safer while others fear the zones hinder humanitarian efforts and resemble an occupation.
I see this as an occupation of the U.S. Army on our lands,” said Silva.— State Representative Sarah Silva expresses her concerns about the military zones.

- Representative Bennie Thompson condemned the incident as embarrassing and demanded accountability and an apology from Noem.
- Noem acknowledged the removal was inappropriate and planned to meet with Padilla to discuss his concerns.
If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country.— Senator Alex Padilla spoke after meeting with Secretary Noem about the treatment of senators by the administration.

Judge Halts Federal Troop Deployment in CaliforniaThe court ordered National Guard control returned to California's governor by Friday noon after disputes over troop use in protests.
- A federal judge ruled that President Trump's deployment of California National Guard troops was unlawful and must be reversed.
- The court found the president did not follow the required legal process and exceeded his authority under federal law.
- California officials criticized the deployment of over 2,000 troops as an unnecessary militarization amid protests in Los Angeles.
- The Trump administration promptly filed an appeal to contest the judge's temporary restraining order.
To put it bluntly, there is no invasion or rebellion in Los Angeles; there is civil unrest that is no different from episodes that regularly occur in communities throughout the country, and that is capable of being contained by state and local authorities working together.— Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California, in an emergency filing.

- California Governor Newsom opposed the federal intervention, calling it unlawful and a breach of state sovereignty.

Unauthorized Border Checks by Dutch Citizens at Germany LineOn Saturday evening, civilians stopped vehicles on B408 trying to block asylum seekers entering the Netherlands from Germany.
- Dutch citizens independently conducted vehicle checks on federal road B408 to hinder asylum seekers crossing from Germany.
- Police from both countries prevented a similar event on Sunday and recorded the identities of participants.
- The Dutch migration minister urged the public to abide by the law and leave border controls to official authorities.
- Right-wing politician Geert Wilders praised the action and advocated deploying the army after his party left the coalition.
Frustration is understandable, but do not take the law into your own hands. Let the police and border police do their job. Abide by the law.— David van Weel, acting Minister of Migration, in a speech regarding the situation at the German border.
