President Donald Trump assessed that military actions are along the border, including the deployment of soldiers, the main reason for a large reduction in the number of illegal migrants.
The Pentagon has already established two military zones, but only four people were caught in them, the American official said.
The new “area of the National Defense” will cover about 400 kilometers along the Rio Grande River in Texas, and will be under the Base Administration in San Antonio. The second zone will belong to the military airport in Yumi, in Arizona, the official said.
These zones will enable Trump administration to use migrant arrest soldiers, without the application of the law that gives the president to deploy the US Army to combat clutter.
The application of the zone had uneven results in deterring the border crossings. The judges of the Federal Court in Novi Mexico and Texas rejected the indictment against dozens of migrants caught in these areas based on their claims that they did not know that they were in the closed military zone.
However, about 120 migrants recognized the illegal crossing the border in the first zone in Texas in May, and state prosecutors received the first two verdicts for illegal crossing the border in the Zone 18. June.
He is currently on the border of about 11,900 soldiers.
The number of illegal border crossings was record as low in March, after Biden’s administration interrupted the proceedings of the asylum, and Mexico strengthened control at the border.
