US military stationed at the border in New Mexico National Defense Area can detain illegal migrants
Military members stationed in and around portions of the southern border have been given the authority to temporarily detain and search illegal migrants. Service members with the Joint Task Force-Southern Border (JTF-SB) are now authorized to conduct several security measures in the New Mexico National Defense Area (NMNDA), U.S. Northern Command said Monday. The NMNDA is part of the U.S. Army's Fort Huachuca military installation. The move allows the U.S. military to serve in a more active law enforcement role than in years past. Military personnel have typically been prevented from participating in civilian law enforcement activities such as search, seizure, or arrest. Navy Deploys Another Houthi-fighting Warship To New Us Southern Border Mission As part of their new duties, the service members can search and temporarily detain trespassers on the NMNDA, as well as provide medical care and implement crowd control measures, until appropriate law enforcement can take them into custody. Task force members can also assist with the installation of temporary barriers, signage, and fencing upon request. Read On The Fox News App "Through these enhanced authorities, U.S. Northern Command will ensure those who illegally trespass in the New Mexico National Defense Area are handed over to Customs and Border Protection or our other law enforcement partners," said USNORTHCOM Gen. Gregory Guillot. "Joint Task Force-Southern Border will conduct enhanced detection and monitoring, which will include vehicle and foot patrols, rotary wing, and fixed surveillance site operations." USNORTHCOM was named as the Defense Department's operational lead for the employment of U.S. military forces to carry out President Donald Trump's southern border executive orders. Trump Orders Military To Take Control Of Federal Land At Southern Border Last week, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum visited New Mexico to announce that the Army will take control of nearly 110,000 acres of federal land along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the Trump administration's efforts to curb illegal immigration and trafficking. The 109,651 acres of federal land will be transferred to the Army for three years, subject to valid existing rights. The switch in jurisdiction will allow the government to protect sensitive natural and cultural resources in the region, while helping the Army support U.S. Border Patrol operations in securing the border and preventing illegal immigration, according to the Department of the Interior. In March, the Defense Department authorized the military to patrol the southern border to provide "enhanced detection and monitoring" to support U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). "Any law enforcement actions to apprehend individuals suspected of illegal entry must be conducted only by non-DoD law enforcement personnel and National Guard personnel in a non-federalized status accompanying these patrols," the DOD said at the time.

Troops in Stryker armored vehicles to patrol southern border
U.S. troops deployed to the southern border can now conduct patrols in Stryker armored vehicles, according to U.S. Northern Command, or NORTHCOM. The move comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered on March 1 that about 2,400 soldiers with the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division deploy to the U.S.-Mexico border. Then, on March 20, Hegseth authorized U.S. service members assigned to the border region to conduct 'enhanced detection and monitoring' to support agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, a recent NORTHCOM news release says. This will allow troops to go from manning stationary positions on the border to using Strykers and other tactical military vehicles for patrols within designated patrol zones and to transport Customs and Border agents on patrol routes. Strykers are eight-wheeled vehicles that can carry up to 11 people and reach a top speed of 60 miles per hour, according to the Army. Some variants include a remote weapons station for a .50 caliber machine gun or MK19 grenade launcher. 'The unique military capabilities and equipment such as 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team's Stryker armored vehicles can be more effectively utilized by Joint Task Force – Southern Border (JTF-SB) while working with CBP to achieve operational control of the border,' the news release says. More than 10,000 service members have either deployed or been approved to deploy to the southern border region. Because the troops are on federal orders under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, they are not allowed to carry out law enforcement activities, including seizing and arresting individuals, according to NORTHCOM. 'Any law enforcement actions to apprehend individuals suspected of illegal entry must be conducted only by non-DoD law enforcement personnel and National Guard personnel in a non-federalized status accompanying these patrols,' the NORTHCOM news release says. Service members assigned to Joint Task Force – Southern Border have already conducted training on how to abide by the law when detecting, tracking, and monitoring suspected illegal activity along the border, the news release says. CBP agents will be 'on-hand or nearby' during patrols to perform any required law enforcement activity, Gen. Gregory Guillot, head of NORTHCOM, said in the news release. U.S. troops supporting security efforts on the southern border will be armed with their assigned weapons, per established policies and procedures, NORTHCOM spokesperson Marine Col. Kelly Frushour told Task & Purpose. 'If the tactical task prohibits carrying of a weapon, an armed overwatch position will provide protection,' Frushour said in a statement. 'As always, U.S. forces retain the right to self-defense.'
