The Trump administration announced plans Wednesday to add another militarized zone to the southern border — this time in California — as part of a major shift that has thrust troops into border enforcement with Mexico like never before.
The Department of Interior said it would transfer jurisdiction along most of California's border with Mexico to the Navy to reinforce "the historic role public lands have played in safeguarding national sovereignty."
The Interior Department described the newest national defense area in California as a high-traffic zone for unlawful crossings by immigrants. But Border Patrol arrests along the southern U.S. border this year have dropped to the slowest pace since the 1960s amid President Trump's push for mass deportations.
The move places long stretches of the border under the supervision of nearby military bases, empowering U.S. troops to detain people who enter the country illegally and sidestep a law prohibiting military involvement in civilian law enforcement. It is done under the authority of the national emergency on the border declared by Mr. Trump on his first day in office.
The military strategy was pioneered in April along a 170-mile stretch of the border in New Mexico and later expanded to portions of the border in Texas and Arizona.

The Department of Interior said it would transfer jurisdiction along most of California’s border with Mexico to the Navy to reinforce “the historic role public lands have played in safeguarding national sovereignty.”
Somebody’s gotta do it, and Newsome sure won’t.
He’s still talking about sanctuaries.
There have been many, many comments on other threads about this. My favorites are the ones that point out that the marines and navy special forces can “practice” and train there. They can “practice” apprehension of the enemy (illegal trespassers). If the enemy raises up a firearm, well, not too smart.
All the good work we’re doing against the Fentanyl Pirates in the Pacific and Gulf of America is for naught if we have illegals toting 30lb back packs full of the stuff across the land border.
“...the marines and navy special forces can “practice” and train there...”
Navy SEAL training area (BUDS) is right there in Coronado...

I cannot think of a more appropriate usage of the American Military!
The US military defending our national borders? Absurd!
/s
I have always thought we need a buffer zone between us.
In my naivety I’d have expected the army not the navy. Since it’s primarily a land border in California. However, I’m confident the navy can do a very fine job!
Music to my xenophobic ears.
Well, I suppose this is a step in the right direction... But I’d prefer they militarize the California - USA border.
