The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) transferred control and administrative jurisdiction of nearly 110,000 acres of federal land along the New Mexico-Mexico border to the Department of the Army. The move by the Interior Department is to comply with President Donald Trump’s order for the U.S. military to take control of federal land along our southern border.
“Securing our border and protecting our nation’s resources go hand in hand,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in an announcement on Tuesday. “The American people gave President Trump a mandate to make America safe and strong again. This transfer reflects Interior’s commitment to public safety, national security, and responsible stewardship of our public lands.”
The transfer of control of the New Mexico border region is designed to facilitate the Army’s support of the U.S. Border Patrol in securing the border and cracking down on illegal immigration.
