The Mexican government has formally rejected a recent policy change by the United States Department of Justice that grants expanded authority to U.S. military forces. Under the new directive, armed forces are permitted to detain migrants who enter unauthorized areas designated as National Defense Areas (NDA) located along the U.S.-Mexico border.
This measure increases the role of the military in border enforcement within these specific zones. Mexico's opposition to the policy highlights ongoing tensions regarding the militarization of border control and the legal protocols governing migrant detention in proximity to the international boundary.
