2025年5月2日，美國國防部宣布在德克薩斯州埃爾帕索（El Paso）附近設立第二個「國防區」，擴大軍方在美墨邊境的執法範圍。

新設立的「德克薩斯國防區」（Texas National Defense Area）連接到埃爾帕索的布利斯堡（Fort Bliss）軍事基地，允許軍方在此區域內臨時拘留非法越境者，直到他們被移交給國土安全部或其他執法機構。

這一舉措是在總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）加強邊境安全政策的背景下實施的。此前，軍方已在新墨西哥州設立了第一個「國防區」，並開始對非法進入該區域的移民進行起訴。

根據報導，自2025年3月以來，邊境地區的非法越境人數已降至歷史最低水平。然而，此舉也引發了對軍方角色擴大的擔憂，尤其是在不動用《叛亂法案》（Insurrection Act）的情況下，軍方是否應該參與國內執法活動。

🔍 三個重要觀點

1. 軍方角色的擴大：設立「國防區」使軍方在未動用《叛亂法案》的情況下，參與國內執法活動，這可能引發對軍事與民事權力分立的擔憂。
2. 邊境安全與人權的平衡：加強邊境安全措施雖有助於減少非法越境，但也需考慮對移民人權的影響，避免過度軍事化。
3. 聯邦與州政府的立場分歧：德克薩斯州州長支持軍方的行動，而新墨西哥州州長則表示反對，顯示出在邊境安全政策上的聯邦與州政府之間存在分歧。

U.S. Military Expands Border Enforcement with New Defense Zone in Texas

On May 2, 2025, the U.S. Department of Defense announced the establishment of a second “National Defense Area” near El Paso, Texas, expanding military involvement in border enforcement.

The newly designated Texas National Defense Area connects to Fort Bliss and allows military personnel to temporarily detain individuals who illegally cross the border until they can be transferred to the Department of Homeland Security or other law enforcement agencies.

This move follows the earlier creation of a similar zone in New Mexico, where migrants entering the area have been prosecuted for trespassing on military property.

Since March 2025, illegal border crossings have decreased to historic lows.However, the expansion of military roles in domestic law enforcement raises concerns about the balance between national security and civil liberties, especially without invoking the Insurrection Act.

🔍 Three Key Points 

1. Expansion of Military Roles: The establishment of National Defense Areas allows the military to engage in domestic law enforcement without invoking the Insurrection Act, raising questions about the separation of military and civilian powers.
2. Balancing Border Security and Human Rights: While enhanced border security measures aim to reduce illegal crossings, it’s essential to consider their impact on migrants’ rights and avoid excessive militarization.
3. Federal and State Government Disparities: The differing responses from Texas and New Mexico governors highlight the lack of consensus between federal and state governments regarding border security policies.
