00:00They can change from two weeks to the number one.

00:05So in some weeks it may shift to El Paso,

00:09or some other sector.

00:12It varies.

00:13It depends on how excited you are about it.

00:15I guess that's another question.

00:30What we see here behind us today

00:48is the result of a true whole-of-government effort.

00:52From the Marines laying down miles of concertina wire

00:55along the border infrastructure

00:57to the soldiers manning our scope trucks

00:59and remote video surveillance cameras 24-7.

01:05This is an all-hands-on-deck type situation,

01:07and everyone has risen to the challenge.

01:11While we continue to see people attempt to illegally enter the country

01:14between the ports of entry,

01:16the addition of the concertina wire

01:18has significantly slowed down illegal entries.

01:44So catch-and-release has ended.

01:46That is no longer happening.

01:48Anyone who is apprehended here on the border

01:52is being taken to our central processing center.

01:55Their checks around biometrics are collected.

01:59Should they have some sort of criminal history,

02:01then we'll present them to the United States Attorney's Office

02:04to be prosecuted for that, whatever they have done.

02:09And from there, once we get them back,

02:11they'll be removed from the United States.

02:27We've emplaced miles of concertina wire

02:30as part of an obstacle design that is welded permanently

02:33to the existing primary and secondary barrier

02:35along the southern border.

02:37The concertina wire creates an obstacle

02:39that disrupts any type of activity

02:42or attempts to cross over the top or through the barrier.

03:10Every day, our soldiers work tirelessly

03:12to detect and report illegal crossings

03:15and enabling a swift response from our Border Patrol counterparts.

03:19These efforts directly contribute to Border Patrol's ability

03:22to maintain a secure and effective operational presence

03:26and demonstrates the strength of interagency cooperation.
