Trump gives military jurisdiction over federal land at U.S.-Mexico border

• Under the order, the military now has jurisdiction over the Roosevelt Reservation, a 60-foot-wide strip of land along the border with Mexico.
• The military can use that land to stage operations and detain immigrants suspected of crossing the border illegally.

What they're saying: Trump has repeatedly described immigration across the Mexican border as an "invasion" requiring a military solution, and his latest order continues that rhetoric.

• "Our southern border is under attack from a variety of threats.," the order says." The complexity of the current situation requires that our military take a more direct role in securing our southern border than in the recent past."

Reality check: Illegal border crossings have already fallen to their lowest level in decades as a result of policies in place before Trump took office combined with his immigration crackdown, researchers have said.
