Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard visited the southern border to highlight the Trump administration's efforts to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking. This visit follows the administration's imposition of a 25% tariff on Mexican imports, aimed at pressuring Mexico to address border issues more effectively. Additionally, President Trump's proposal to use Guantánamo Bay for detaining immigrants has faced significant challenges, leading to internal debates about its feasibility.
