| 82 charged with trespassing on new National Defense Area along southern border |
| 2025-05-04 |
| EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — The U.S. Attorney for the District of New Mexico says a total of 82 people have been charged through Thursday for unauthorized entry into the military’s new buffer zone along the border with Mexico. The charges follow the recent establishment of a 170-mile long, 60-foot-wide National Defense Area on federal land adjacent to the border wall in New Mexico. Signs in English and Spanish have been posted along that stretch. Migrants have been arrested on charges of unlawful entry of military property since at least April 24 -- though technically anyone, including U.S. citizens, could face sanctions. That has caused discomfort among leaders of civil rights organizations concerned about possible abuses and what they deem a "militarization" of border communities. Those "concerned" have demonstrated they don't give a damn about border security or national integrity. Using the term "militarization" is the stinking indication of their bias. I expect any day now yet another federal judge will issue a national injunction preventing the US Army from doing its duty. |

| #1 ....concerned about possible abuses and what they deem a "militarization" of border communities. Historical ignorance. There is a reason Fort Bliss and Fort Huachuca are there. Apache raiders, Mexican bandits, throw in some Pancho Villa and you understand that for the 19th Century and the early part of the 20th Century, the military were right on the border to deal with real threats. |
