Trump Grants Military 440 Square Kilometers at US-Mexico Border for Illegal Immigrants

An area of 440 square kilometers along the border with Mexico has been granted to the U.S. military by the Trump administration to combat illegal immigration. The U.S. Department of the Interior announced the transfer of approximately 440 square kilometers along the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent the entry of undocumented immigrants. The area will be granted for three years, according to the announcement. ‘The security of our borders and the protection of our national resources go hand in hand,’ stated U.S. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt. ‘The American people have given President Trump a mandate to make America safe and strong again. This transfer reflects the Interior Department’s commitment to upholding public order and national security while responsibly managing public land,’ he added.
