Upon returning to office, President Donald Trump declared a state of emergency on the southern border, sending thousands of troops to the region to prevent migrants from entering the country unlawfully through Mexico. Six months later, as the Trump administration continues cracking down on immigration, those troops are reporting little to no activity in what was once a hub for migrants to enter the U.S.
This Tuesday, an Army infantry unit in Nogales, Ariz. spotted only two people attempting to cross the border while they were patrolling the sector.
