Pentagon Weighs Buffer Zone at Border to Supercharge Illegal Immigration Crackdown

President Donald Trump is once again proving that real leadership delivers real results. The Pentagon is reportedly moving forward with plans to establish a buffer zone along the U.S.-Mexico border, empowering the military to play an even more active role in the administration’s historic crackdown on illegal immigration.

According to multiple officials, the proposal already in development focuses on sections of the border starting in New Mexico, with the potential to expand westward into California. By designating a 20-yard-wide buffer zone as a military-controlled installation, Trump’s team is effectively sidestepping the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits military involvement in law enforcement duties on U.S. soil.

Here’s how it works:

• The buffer zone would legally be treated as a U.S. military installation.

• Troops stationed there could “hold” illegal border crossers temporarily, framing it as trespassing on military property not detention.

• Once CBP agents arrive, law enforcement officially takes over, closing any legal loopholes activist lawyers might try to exploit.

The Pentagon’s legal team has been meticulously crafting the language to ensure the plan is airtight against inevitable challenges from open-borders groups and activist judges.

The strategy isn’t just theoretical it’s already having an undeniable impact. Since Trump returned to office and deployed over 10,000 active-duty military personnel along the border, illegal crossings have plummeted by a staggering 80-90%. The deterrent effect is clear: when America shows strength, the floodgates close.

The Biden administration’s open-border policies created chaos, overwhelmed our border agents, and endangered American communities. For years, they tied the hands of law enforcement and refused to give our military the tools they need to defend the homeland.

Trump’s bold move changes all of that. By leveraging up to 5,000 acres at a time for military use without needing congressional approval, the plan will be scalable, strategic, and legally sound.

This buffer zone isn’t just about holding the line it’s about restoring American sovereignty and sending a message. The days of lawlessness at the border are over.
