💨 Abstract

On July 25, 2025, in Nogales, Arizona, Army troops were deployed to deter illegal border crossings under President Donald Trump's emergency declaration. Despite occasional sightings, the work can be tedious, but soldiers find pride in their deterrent presence. The U.S. troop deployments have tripled to 7,600, covering every branch of the military, and the mission is guided from a new command center in Arizona.
