Trump Administration Establishes Militarized Zone in California: A Shift in Border EnforcementThe Trump administration has announced plans to create a militarized zone along Californias southern border, marking a significant shift in border enforcement. The Department of the Interior will transfer control of the border to the Navy, citing the role public lands play in national security. This move comes as a response to high-traffic zones for unlawful crossings by immigrants. U.S. troops will be deployed to detain individuals who enter the country illegally, bypassing a law that typically prevents military involvement in civilian law enforcement. This decision is being carried out under the authority of the national emergency declared by President Trump on his first day in office. More than seven thousand troops have been deployed to the border, along with helicopters, drones, and surveillance equipment. The zones allow U.S. troops to apprehend immigrants and others accused of trespassing on military bases, potentially leading to prison time. This announcement comes on the same day a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to end the deployment of California National Guard troops in Los Angeles.
