U.S. Border Patrol agents encountered a significantly lower number of people on Monday compared to the same day last year. This decrease coincides with President Donald Trump's administration's increased efforts to secure the border.
The Coast Guard has ramped up its operations along the Rio Grande, augmenting Border Patrol efforts with additional boats and personnel. Their mission is to deter and interdict illegal migration, drug smuggling, and other illicit activities.
During a recent operation, the Coast Guard encountered a suspected cartel spotter along the riverbank, highlighting the ongoing smuggling operations in the area. Despite a decline in illegal crossings, authorities emphasize that the threat remains high.
Beyond the Rio Grande, the Coast Guard is also stepping up patrols along all Texas maritime boundaries. Their goal is to ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the United States.

This is only going to lead to more violence and instability in the region.

This is a violation of human rights. People have the right to seek asylum, no matter where they come from.
