NOGALES — Border officials in Arizona, and the military commander for 1,500 active-duty troops deployed to the state, said they are fortifying the border and warned asylum seekers against trying to enter the United States illegally.
The warning comes as President Donald Trump issued a proclamation Friday morning that bars any migrant who crosses the U.S.-Mexico border illegally from claiming asylum.
Several civil liberties groups immediately filed a lawsuit against Trump's action.
Both developments were largely prompted by the hundreds of mostly Central American migrants traveling toward the United States in a caravan.
