“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
On Thursday morning, 250 members of the Mexican Army arrived in Ciudad Juárez as part of the security-strengthening strategies implemented in the border region by the federal government.
This measure is part of the agreement established with the United States—reached in January 2025—to bolster surveillance in the country’s northern zone.
Authorities reported that the troops will be conducting patrols through streets, neighborhoods, and high-crime areas with the aim of providing greater peace of mind to the residents of Ciudad Juárez.
The military presence seeks to reinforce public security operations and foster a sense of trust among citizens, within a context where the public demand for greater protection is a top priority.
The total number of military personnel deployed across various points of the city now stands at 2,500, all of whom are integrated into surveillance and crime prevention efforts.
These operations are coordinated with municipal and state police agencies, as well as the National Guard, to facilitate information sharing.
