The White House announced Tuesday that it was expanding the “new national defense zone” created by presidential memorandum last week along the U.S.-Mexico border, adding 90 miles to the area aimed at securing the border.
"This new national defense zone extends more than 170 miles across our border in New Mexico, but in the coming weeks, the administration will add more than 90 miles into the state of Texas," White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt told reporters during today's press conference.
"This national defense zone will enhance our ability to detect, detain, and prosecute illegal aliens, criminal gangs, and terrorists who were able to invade our country with impunity for the past four years under the Biden administration," she added.
The memorandum, which President Donald Trump signed last week, directs the US military to "take a more direct role" in efforts to secure the border and calls on Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to act to give the Defense Department "military use and jurisdiction over certain military installations."
Because Trump has declared a national emergency at the border, according to the memo, Burgum “may make withdrawals, reservations, and restrictions on public lands to ensure the Department of Defense’s use of public lands.”
