The US-Mexico border is increasingly being designated as military territory through the National Defense Areas (NDAs), allowing for Army control over migratory enforcement. Recently announced NDAs in Texas and Arizona add to previous designations, summing up to over 600 miles of militarized land. This initiative facilitates military personnel's ability to patrol the border and detain migrants, which has raised concerns about the implications for civilian law enforcement. The recent expansions support the Trump administration's goal of heightened military involvement in immigration enforcement operations along the border.
The expansion of the National Defense Areas (NDAs) converts over 600 miles of US-Mexico border into military territory, allowing the Army to enforce immigration laws.
New NDAs in Texas and Arizona empower the military to detain migrants, intensifying the militarization of border control initiated by the Trump administration.
