BORDER BLITZKRIEG: Trump Militarizes Border Zone

from Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast · host Soberanía Podcast

Eager to pursue his campaign goal of the largest deportation operation in US history, Donald Trump has militarized the border, turning over the early-twentieth-century Roosevelt Reservation to the Department of Defense in order to circumvent Posse Comitatus Act and get US troops to take part in the deportation of migrants. Plus, co-hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth follow up on the fallout from the questionable Ecuadorean election and Mexican President Sheinbaum’s pledge to not restore relations. Also, why is Mexican private media running Trump’s anti-migrant ads in primetime?
