CBP has permitted some Texas National Guard Troops to make immigration arrests as encounters along the border remain at historically low levels

Texas National Guard soldiers can arrest and detain people for entering the U.S. illegally from Mexico under an agreement with the Trump administration that expands the military’s role in immigration enforcement.

President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government said the National Guard members had redeployed to 18 cities and towns along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a deal to delay U.S. tariffs.
