Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that full control of the southern border is the goal of the current administration and all of the intergovernmental agencies working to enforce border security.
U.S. Northern Command is the Defense Department’s operational lead for the employment of U.S. military forces carrying out President Donald J. Trump’s executive orders on protecting the territorial integrity of the United States. Northcom is working with the Department of Homeland Security to augment U.S. Customs and Border Protection along the southern border.
