The United States Coast Guard is deploying more resources to the U.S. southern border on the Rio Grande River, according to the agency.
The surge operation, known as "Operation River Wall," will add more boats on a 260-mile stretch of the river in southeastern Texas that makes up part of the U.S.-Mexico border to ensure operational control of the border, according to USCG.
"U.S. Coast Guard is the best in the world at tactical boat operations and maritime interdiction at sea, along our coasts, and in riverine environments," said Adm. Kevin E. Lunday, acting commandant of the Coast Guard.
