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.
