President Trump has dispatched hundreds of troops to the southern border for a wide range of missions, but this mission has brought new tasks and legally responded to immigrants, which are responsible for the law execution agencies. He is questioning the role of the military.
Until now, the army has mainly supported the Customs and Border Security Bureau (CBP) by logistics, detection, monitoring, and transportation. However, President Trump has greatly expanded its role in the border between the United States and Mexico.
1,500 active servants heading for the border will collect information and will work on new missions, such as forced delivery flights and temporary and permanent physical barriers.
Immediately after taking office, President Trump declared the Southern border as a state emergency in a presidential decree and allowed an active unit to take this measure.
President Trump has also signed a Presidential Order for the North Army to make a detailed strategy plan at the border. The order was issued as an order to declare “invasion” at the border.
The increase in the role of the U.S. military has questioned the dangers of immigrants and security as the army is more involved.
The military officers have stated that the army does not carry out the law execution, but is more likely to carry weapons, increasing the risk of murder training soldiers to launch immigrants.
This is a major concern for immigrants inside and outside the parliament.
“The military officials are trained in a very aggressive and warlined scenario, and not necessarily for crowd control,” said Representative Adriano Espayer, a member of the Congress Hispanic. Ta.
“Therefore, we are training for that, and we feel that there are other types of law execution agencies that are the most suitable for being on the border, and we are already on the border.”
The Pentagon dispatched about 1,000 Army soldiers and 500 Marines. U.S. military officials said that they had already departed on Thursday night and are expected to be deployed within two days.
With a new dispensing squad, the total troops level at the border reaches 4,000. Defense officials said that up to 10,000 people could be deployed in the future, but warned that it was not the final number.
The military has been allowed to support the enforcement of the law, and we have been supporting it at the border, but this movement is an increase in military involvement, and it is a civil police law that prohibits the army in domestic law execution missions. The question is that it may violate.
Tony Payang, Executive Director of the Rice University, Mexico Center, has no concerns about 1,500 troops, but sending up to 10,000 troops is a risk for immigrants and “people”. A warning. Support for the army. “
Payang said that if the number of troops was small, it would not violate the Police Law, but would be more likely to be illegal if the number of troops increased would play more than a support for CBP.
“Several serious conflicts[could] He said that it would bring up a new level of legal enforcement institutions that could not be accepted by the United States society, “he said. “And I think it will ultimately be unacceptable to the Ministry of Defense.”
The unit is based in Fortbris, Texas, and plans to increase the Northern Integrated Director, which has been active on borders for many years, mainly with state soldiers.
Active units have been dispatched to the border, including the former President of Biden. Trump's opening and further deployment promises indicate that borders are becoming more and more military.
Immigration groups argue that such measures are wrong approaches.
The American Immigration Council Jorge Lowry mentioned the process of immigrants arriving at the border in search of persecution protection, saying, “The exile system on the southern border we know is over.” Ta.
“The number of people arriving at the border has been the lowest level in recent years, and it is likely that this rumor will continue to decrease in the future. The military of the southern border has long been troubled by the immigration system. It will be useless at the same time as it is useless. “
Stephanie Brucher, the director in charge of the Latin American Washington Office, is e -mail, and immigrants often arrive with trauma or lost their knowledge, and says, “The army is ready for the battle. Contact direct contact with family and individuals creates a risk of human rights infringement in Japan. ” In any case. ”
Elizabeth Guydein, the co -director of the Brennan Center's freedom and national security program, also expressed concern about whether the army is training to respond to such situations.
“They are trained to fight enemies. They have rarely received or have been trained to enforce civil law peacefully in a way that respects the constitutional rights of the people involved,” she said. 。
Guydein states that the presidential presidential decree is “a bit confused”, and it is unknown whether President Trump uses the word “invasion” as legal justification or raiding. I did.
“It's difficult to judge whether this is just a confusion about the law or a intentional attempt to collapse the separate category of war and law execution,” she told The Hill.
“It's sad that I need to say loudly, but illegal immigrants are not warnings and not to activate war authority,” she said, saying that doing so would be “legally deviated.” Ta.
“They are not working well in collecting his actions with a specific legal authorities,” she said.
The White House Curorine Levit, a reporter on Wednesday, to the reporters, Trump's goal is to secure the army to “actually take the national land security seriously”. I claimed that.
The Northern Army has led a new mission unit established by the Ministry of Defense to deal with the Southern Border Operation, and will be supervised by Defense Robert Shaasses.
Sacees stated in a statement on Wednesday, “President Trump has instructed the Ministry of Defense to ensure the safety of the border and revealed that it is expecting immediate results.”
The army plans to support the Ministry of Land Security, which expell us of more than 5,000 immigrants detained by authorities from San Diego, California and El Paso, Texas.
Usually, the removal flight is carried out by the US Immigration Tax Executive Office (ICE) through ICE Aviation, which depends on private airlines and charter flights to remove immigrants.
Observators also have serious questions about the army trying to land immigrants in other countries that may not accept US military aircraft.
The role of the military in building barriers can also be a problem. According to President Trump's first term, which builds a wall along the 2,000 miles border, only about 458 miles were completed, of which 52 miles were newly constructed, not alternative. Approximately 700 miles at other places along the border have some barriers.
Director Rila Abed, director of the Wilson Center Mexico Research Institute, the possibility that President Trump was trying to give a “political image” on the border, although the problem could be further political due to the use of the military. Explained that it is expensive.
“It's like this under the border” [the Trump] This is a clear signal that the army is currently stationed to immigrants from their country, so they don't go to the United States and Mexico borders, “she said.
President Trump promoted the immigration crisis after the decline in the border population in the last few months of the Biden administration. According to CBP reports, the number of railroad crossings in December decreased by 81 % compared to the previous year. 47,330 encounters During the immigration port.
Mr. Aberd has stated that decreasing numbers are likely to be an emergency, but this order is about major issues for many Americans who have worsened for years under the Biden administration. He stated that President Trump is aiming to fulfill his election promise.
“I don't think an emergency is happening at this time,” she said. “This is a precautionary measure to avoid immigrants from crossing the border between the United States and Mexico.
“However, Latin American nations will be more unpleasant for immigrants to plant this first fear and use the Presidential Ordinance and President Trump's return to the White House to enter the United States. It will also be sent to other countries. “
