The army applied for the transfer of jurisdiction to increase federal staff patrols and to implement security measures and infrastructure to “curb illegal cross -border activities”, such as illegal immigration and drug and human trafficking, according to DOI statement.

The order of April 11 describes the step -by -step introduction, starting with the implementation of a controlled perimeter in the New Mexico area in the limited federal sector.

During the next 45 days, soldiers will identify and patrol the transmissions in the area. They also construct temporary barriers and install signs to show the boundaries of the war zone.

Guillot said some employees “operating in the immediate vicinity of the border” are armed with rifles or pistols. The military has been looking for a permit for troops to shoot cartel roses interviewing the border.
