U.S. military command reported a significant reduction in the number of illegal border crossings in the Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas. According to the department, one month after the launch of Operation Unified Resolve, during which U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) and the Joint Task Force South Border deployed hundreds of military personnel to the region, illegal border crossing rates and detected suspicious activity decreased by approximately 70%. Rio Grande Valley has long been considered one of the most tense sections of the U.S. southern border, through which a significant portion of the migration flow passes. The increased military presence in the region became part of the administration's broader measures to control the border with Mexico. Command representatives attribute the reduction in figures to additional patrols, the use of technical surveillance equipment, and closer coordination between military and border services. Specific data on the number of deployed military personnel and the methods used to achieve the result have not yet been fully disclosed. Operation Unified Resolve is viewed as part of an ongoing strategy to strengthen the security of the U.S. southern border. Authorities state that they intend to continue monitoring the situation and, if necessary, adjust the number and deployment of forces involved in the operation.
