In response to tariff threats by President Trump, Mexico has dispatched a substantial force of 10,000 troops to its northern border, bolstering security in key areas such as Ciudad Juarez. This deployment aligns with President Claudia Sheinbaum's commitment to combat fentanyl smuggling. The Mexican Army and National Guard have commenced patrols, assessing the border for trafficking routes. In a reciprocal effort, the U.S. has vowed to curb the flow of firearms into Mexico, addressing the cartel violence crises burgeoning from migrant smuggling activities.
Masked and armed National Guard members picked through brush running along the border barrier, pulling out makeshift ladders and ropes hidden in the trenches.
In exchange, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum promised she would send the country's National Guard to reinforce the border and crack down on fentanyl smuggling.
