On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Greg Kelly Reports,” Senior Adviser to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Ron Vitiello stated that the Trump administration’s decision to have the military take over federal lands along the U.S.-Mexico border will allow for greater deterrence, because anyone who crosses over the border in those areas will “not only be breaking federal law by coming into the country illegally, but they’ll also be trespassing on a military installation,” and the Department of Justice will file charges for trespassing on a military base that will be referred by CBP...

Vitiello also stated that the Department of Defense is authorized to take over land, starting in Texas, and “maybe other areas as well.”
