đź’¨ Abstract
President Donald Trump has significantly increased military involvement in deterring illegal border crossings. In Nogales, Arizona, Army soldiers use technology to identify and deter crossings, contributing to a 60-year low in apprehensions. Troops, now numbering 7,600, work alongside Border Patrol, focusing on remote areas. The military's expanded role includes potential arrests and monitoring with drones and vehicles. Critics note this strategy skirts the Posse Comitatus Act and is politically motivated.
