After surging troops to the border, US Army showcases a quieter Rio Grande

The U.S. Army has deployed hundreds of soldiers to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas to address reports of increased activity from Mexican drug cartels. The deployment follows a period of high volume in illegal border crossings in the region.

Lt. Col. Ray Richards of the U.S. Army recently highlighted a specific stretch of the river in Roma, Texas, that was previously a frequent site for crossings. Observations from the area indicate that the location is currently quiet, with soldiers stationed along the border.
