📰 Pentagon sets up new 250 mile military buffer zone at border with crossings at record lows
The Pentagon has established a new military buffer zone in Texas along the Rio Grande River to enhance border security as illegal crossings decrease. The National Defense Area (NDA) spans 250 miles in Cameron and Hidalgo counties with temporary barriers and signage for security. The Joint Task Force-Southern Border, under NORTHCOM’s direction, will monitor and patrol the zone without law enforcement duties but with the authority to detain and transfer border crossers. The zone sits on land transferred from the International Boundary and Water Commission and will be under Joint Base San Antonio’s administration. This NDA is part of a series of zones set up to strengthen security operations along the U.S. southern border, with a total area exceeding 480 miles.
In a related development, trespassing charges against 98 individuals arrested in the New Mexico military zone were dismissed as they were unaware they were entering a restricted area. The Trump administration has seen a significant decrease in illegal crossings, with record-low apprehensions and “gotaways.” Apprehensions of illegal immigrants have dropped compared to the previous year under the Biden administration. Border czar Tom Homan reported that no illegal migrants were released into the U.S. in May.

📰 Suspect in Boulder terror attack targeting pro-Israel demonstrators charged with federal hate crimes
The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was charged with 12 hate crime counts for a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, using Molotov cocktails at a pro-Israel event. He allegedly approached participants of the “Run for Their Lives” demonstration and hurled lit Molotov cocktails while shouting “Free Palestine!” Soliman, an illegal immigrant from Egypt, expressed anti-Zionist sentiments and targeted individuals supporting Israel. The indictment accuses him of attempting to kill eight people based on their perceived or actual national origin.

Soliman is set to appear in court to enter a plea on the hate crime charges.
